"Researchers say cosmic rays may have affected climate in the past, but not the present.

"This should settle the debate," said Mike Lockwood from the UK's Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, who carried out the new analysis together with Claus Froehlich from the World Radiation Center in Switzerland.

"All the graphs they showed [in Climate Swindle] stopped in about 1980, and I knew why, because things diverged after that,"

"You can't just ignore bits of data that you don't like," he said. "

'No Sun link' to climate change

seems like the findings are inconclusive based on the poor data they have thus far collected. Svensmark doesn't think humans and CO2 emissions have nothing to do with the warming over the past century, he just thinks the Sun's increased activity has also been playing a role.

the sun does have a major part in are climate,i seen a program on a long while back,suggesting the sun is very active,bursting out in spasms,

i am no expert but the sun will get more active before it dies,we are in its path.

seems a futile battle saying mankind and cows farting are the real causes.

it would help however if people didnt build in flood plains.

You're right. This whole controversy is fraught with politics and hidden agendas going both ways. Truth is hard to come by.

in the last 550 million years life has had 5 global catastrophies. All have killed more than 50% of the species. The worst killed 90% of species living in the sea and 70% of land living creatures. The latest was 83 million years ago. Talk about living is hard!

cool, me too!

That makes it really hard to find out the truth! But I have no doubt that human beings are neglecting the environment and that that neglect is going to come back to bite us... question is how soon and how hard.

He also said that his colleagues in the sci. comm. told him things like "you shouldn't be doing this research" because it seemed to contradict the mainstream idea that it is all our fault that the climate is changing. So there are political agendas on both sides of the debate, unfortunately .
