• Other than an unknown Russian scientists that Jello idolizes (for some unknown reason) and a handful of non-scientists (mostly TV weathermen types and economists), virtually no one holds to that theory as a feasible explanation for the current warming.
  
  We have extremely accurate measurements of solar activity, and while they are a probably explanation for some past climate variations, they aren%26#039;t an explanation for what we saw the latter part of the 20th century. http://www.mpg.de/english/illustrationsD...

  -Here is information about the sun%26#039;s role.
  %26quot;May 10, 2006: The Sun%26#039;s Great Conveyor Belt has slowed to a record-low crawl, according to research by NASA solar physicist David Hathaway. %26quot;It%26#039;s off the bottom of the charts,%26quot; he says. %26quot;This has important repercussions for future solar activity.%26quot;%26quot;
  
  You can also go to this web page and determine Sun Spot numbers for yourself:

  This page talks about IMFs (Interplanetary Magnetic Fields) which are related to Sun Spots.

  They don%26#039;t seem to accommodate the power of directional coronal mass ejections - which can be considerable if directed straight towards earth..
  Far more than just GW can be a result of emissions from the Sun - even plate tectonics.
  To answer your question Yes - but also other emissions than just sun spots.
• Yes, as we are warming and cooling, there are so many factors effecting warming and cooling. CO2 is not one of them!

  No, global warming is caused by selfish and ignorant people that want to deny that its happening cause they dont wanna give up their wastefull habbits!!! They will do anything to deny the truth so they can keep using the things that they are most addicted to like an 800 pound woman eats 2 full buckets of chicken and blames her weight problem on genetics!!!! The only difference between the 2 is that atleast the woman is only killing herself with her own denial but, others contributes to killing us all!!! The best way to prove my point, is for all that do not believe in global warming to start a car up inside a green house full of plants and see how long it takes with the car running for them and the plants to die!!! If they and the plants are still living a week later with no supply of oxygen, I guess global warming would be a hoax wouldn%26#039;t it???

• Answer hidden due to its low rating

  It can be, but not this time around. The correlation between solar output and global temperatures ended during the 1970%26#039;s. Our current global warming is related to increasing concentrations of atmospheric greenhouse gases (or so claims nearly every single scientist currently engaged in climate research).

• Answer hidden due to its low rating

  No. Global warming is caused by the CO2 emissions that factories and cars and other gas spewing things let out. The sun has nothing to do with it. That theory, (the sun theory) is unproven, unprobable, and was probably created by people of power who do not want to be involved in paying money to help stop global warming. It is so easy to buy scientists off, or to just create a story of how scientists found this new theory. Global warming is different. Almost all scientists agree, and it just makes sense. For the sun theory, what on earth is causing the sun to do that? We would notice more fluctuating temps. than what we have been experiencing. It is true that Earth goes through cycles, but according to these cycles, we should have started a cooling one about 30-40 years ago, but instead we just continued to climb up. Global warming is caused by humans, don%26#039;t lay off the blame on the sun.
  Help.
