Mar. 16th, 2007 09:51 amSeveral mechanisms of how the sun might impact global warming trends are noted in this short but sweet note.
The Great Global Warming Swindle: Response - The Ecologist (UK)
"The key argument mounted by Martin Durkin in the Channel 4 documentary, 'The Great Global Warming Swindle', was that the sun’s activity had more to do with global warming than levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We asked Dr Richard Betts of the Met Office Hadley Centre to explain the scientific evidence for why the sun is not to blame for current climate change."

"...while cloud cover was reported to be correlated with cosmic ray fluxes some time ago, this correlation has broken down as more years of data have become available. The available data therefore do not support the cosmic ray hypothesis."
