This site is only for those who care about truth.

I wonder if that is true. They start out with a reference to the
mythological and mystical doom that awaits us in 2012. This gets
people thinking about myths and media driven rubbish. This has
nothing to do with climate change but it is a good debating trick. The
trick is called guilt by association. It goes: A is rubbish,
assume B is like A, therefore B is rubbish.

They then go on to bring out the old climate change is caused by the
sun canard. Specifically in this case it is the sunspot cycle. While it
is thought that solar forcing is a component of climate
change it is not the only factor. Something has caused a cycle of
ice ages and warmer periods over millions of years - the sun. However the
claim that the current cycle of warming is entirely due
to the sun has been roundly debunked. The fact that they quote this
Marusek as gospel and fail to even mention there is a good case
against him, much less explain the case against his view, tells me
that the author is not even handed and looking for truth but pushing
an agenda.
If it is or not, I dont know eather, but keep searching. This is my
input.

Well I suggest that you keep looking. So far all you are finding are
sites (such as the above and junkscience.com) run by contrarians and
lobbyists. Why won't you read anything by actual climate scientists?

The truth is always surrounded by some mistruth.
You have to wade thru a lot of crap to get to the truth.
At least I was looking.

More than many citizens are doing. Have you considered also reading sources
other than from contrarians and lobbyists?
