A picture is worth a thousand words.
Here’s the graph we’ve all become familiar with that shows global temperatures alongside CO2 emissions. Warming zealots never seem to have a real good reason why temperatures dropped for thirty years as emissions increased during our post war industrial boom from 1945 through 1975, but they never let facts get in the way.
The real problem here is that dip in temperatures. But there is a better explanation that fits. Namely solar activity (yes, the sun causes warming). A lot of naysayers will try to talk about solar temperatures and that’s not the issue, but rather the dynamics of solar flares, spots and host of other issues that affect our temperatures. Important to note that we can see the same temperature chart with solar activity. (But you won’t see it in Gore’s movie.)
Hmm, looks like a much better fit and makes far more sense than CO2 output which is far less of an influence than the sun. The graph above is from Danish solar physicists Eigil Friis-Christensen and Knut Lassen where they studied sun spots and magnetic activity of the sun. Their global temperature predictions have been more accurate than any zealot to date. Wonder when Kyoto will start trying to regulate the sun?
