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?

How about this.Inhofe Comments on Obama Copenhagen AnnouncementWashington,
D.C.-Sen. James M. Inhofe (R-Okla.), Ranking Member of theSenate Committee
on Environment and Public Works, today commented on thenews that President
Obama will travel to Copenhagen, Denmark for the UnitedNations Climate
Conference."I suspect President Obama is making the trip to Copenhagen in
order to'save' the climate conference," Sen. Inhofe said. "Yet no amount of
loftyrhetoric or promises of future commitments can save it. This is due in
largepart to the fact cap-and-trade legislation in the Senate is dying on
thevine, and, as important, recent revelations of leading climate
scientistswho appear to have manufactured the climate
'consensus'-revelations thatcast doubt over the entire global warming
enterprise."Moreover, it's clear that China, India, and the developing
world, whichwill soon be responsible for the vast bulk of greenhouse gas
emissions, willnot accept mandatory cuts in emissions-despite entreaties
from PresidentObama. The U.S. Senate has made clear on numerous occasions
that unilateral action by the United States is unacceptable, because it will
harm oureconomy and have virtually no effect on climate change."
