OSLO, June 23 (Reuters) – A fall in the sun’s heat output to levels last felt 300 years ago would slow temperature rises in the eastern United States and Europe,
This just shows we sceptics were right. It was the sun what done it and not CO2. We in Scotland are having the coldest June in 40 years and this just proves that the alarmists are sun spot deniers.
Sorry for the sarcasm! I saw the Guardian article Weak sun could offset some global warming in Europe and US – study and couldn’t help poking fun at them, both for the way they report global warming, and the way they no doubt think we sceptics will jump on the sun spot bandwagon and start yapping on about impending doom from sunspots in the same way as they go on constantly about CO2.
However, even the Guardian are printing:
the sun’s cooling effect would only reduce … temperature … in northern Europe and the eastern US by 0.4-0.8C.
As that is very similar to my estimated impact of CO2 (less than 1C), we should be thankful that we’ve got some man-made warming!!
