SOLAR STUDY COOL ON GLOBAL WARMING CLAIM

Perhaps we need to stop being so arrogant as a species. This planet was around billions of years before us, and it'll out live us by a few billion as well. Humankind is indeed powerful, but all the strength we exert isn't enough to out-do mother nature.

Solar Study Cool on Global Warming Claim

Another study has cast doubt on the global warming theory.

Recognizing that the Earth's climate has been changing since the pre-industrial era, physicist A. Kilcik and his colleagues set out to determine if there is a link between variations in solar activity and changes in the earth's temperatures, John McCaslin reports in the Washington Times' Inside the Beltway column.

They compared surface air temperature variations in the U.S. and Japan from 1900 to 1995.

"Our results indicate marked influence of solar-activity variations on the earth's climate," the researchers reported in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics.

Writes McCaslin: "Which might help explain other historic climate changes, from the "Medieval Warm Period" from the 12th century through the 14th century, to the "Little Ice Age" from the latter half of the 17th century into the early 18th century.

"President Bush may have been correct not to rush his signature onto the Kyoto Protocol treaty on climate change."
