Out of the Sun

Sunspot activity -- directly tied to total solar output -- is more active now than it has been in 1,000 years. That time period, interestingly, is smack in the middle of the Medieval Warm Period. So... the sun is warming the planet? Who'd've thunk?!

Of course, like a child screaming "IS TOO!!!!" at the top of its lungs, the warmies desperately try to create an anthropogenic influence, despite a complete lack of supporting evidence:

This latest analysis shows that the Sun has had a considerable indirect influence on the global climate in the past, causing the Earth to warm or chill, and that mankind is amplifying the Sun's latest attempt to warm the Earth.

And they base that assumption upon what evidence? A politically-motivated "report" from the United Nations? The results from a Magic 8-Ball?

It would be kind of funny if it weren't such a sad testimonial on the state of scientific education in the Western world -- not to mention blatant political naïveté.
