A study, that was partially started in response the Channel 4’s The Great Global Warming Swindle, has proved that the sun can’t be blamed for the Earth’s increasing temperatures. Rutherford Appleton Laboratory’s Professor Mike Lockwood, and World Radiation Centre’s Claus Fröhlich have analysed the activity of the sun since 1985. Results show that although for the past 20 years the sun’s output has been in decline, the Earth’s temperature has continued to increase.
Speaking about the Channel 4 documentary aired in March this year, Mike Lockwood said: “That program was so bad it was almost fraudulent. [The subjects raised] made for a decent scientific debate 15 years ago, but the questions have since been settled.”
“This paper is the final nail in the coffin for people who would like to make the sun responsible for present global warming,” Stefan Rahmstorf, a climate scientist at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research in Germany, told the journal Nature. via: BBC and Telegraph.co.uk

The sun has noeffect on our climate. This has been dealt with and the debate is over.
What we need is a world government body, like the United Nations, who can control and regulate all of our energy use and our scientific inquiry.
The truth will win in the end.
I am a regular reader of your article. And I am very impress with your blog upon Global Warming. Now I am also write a blog upon Global Warming. This blog is collection of news & reviews like the study found that global warming since 1985 has been caused neither by an increase in solar radiation nor by a decrease in the flux of galactic cosmic rays. Some researchers had also suggested that the latter might influence global warming because the rays trigger cloud formation.
