Solar activity may be a cause of global warming.
Actually, I'm well aware of the fact that sun "is a variable star" and that "up until today we are in the middle of a more intense period of solar activity" but thanks for mentioning it.
It's an important point, and one of the best criticisms of the "consensus" notion that man is responsible for this latest batch of warming.
Again (and again and again) I ask for the hard evidence scientists have to definitely prove their "consensus" conclusion that this latest warming period is primarily caused man instead of just the latest in a series of natural warming periods possibly caused by solar activity.
Again (and again and again) that evidence is impossible to find discussed anywhere. All that is discussed is the "consensus" conclusion. I don't take "consensus" conclusions at face value, no matter how many people try to bully everyone to do so. There have, after all, been so many "consensus" conclusions that turned out to be utter BS in the past.
Two of my favorites include: Brontasaurus (a complete and utter fuck up) Hysteria in women (a completely and utterly made up illness stemming from sexism and malpractice)
Science makes mistakes. They arrive at bogus conclusions. It happens. It doesn't mean scientists are bad people or anything other than they are humans, not gods. Blind allegiance to them ranges from blasphemy to plain stupidity, depending on one's sprititual persuasion.
Believe what you want about the cause of global warming. But without hard evidence explaining not only the cause, but how this period differs significantly from past periods attributed to solar activity, it is "belief" not proven fact.
P.S. Just for fun...what is the evidence (not theory, not supposition, not wishful thinking) that the "mechanisms for global climate equilibirium is gone"? This warming period is hardly unusual in length, and not proven to be unusual in severity, so how do we know that the climate won't right itself? That is a sweeping generality about something man/science knows relatively little about. We have a long way to go before man fully understands climate, climate change, and weather.
Edited to ferret out typos. Apologies if I didn't find them all.
