NASA study links climate change to Solar activity, and human activity, DailyTeach:
Some researchers believe that the solar cycle influences global climate changes. They attribute recent warming trends to cyclic variation. Skeptics, though, argue that there’s little hard evidence of a solar hand in recent climate changes.
Now, a new research report from a surprising source may help to lay this skepticism to rest. A study from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland looking at climate data over the past century has concluded that solar variation has made a significant impact on the Earth’s climate. The report concludes that evidence for climate changes based on solar radiation can be traced back as far as the Industrial Revolution.
Now go tell Al Gore to crawl back into his mansion and for Henry Waxman to shove his Carbon Tax up where the Sun never shines.

I’m an AGW skeptic too, but you should be careful what you link to if you don’t want alarmists to use it against you. Click the link in Daily Tech, will lead you to Science Daily: http://www.sciencedaily.com/re.....120523.htm
it says exactly the opposite: that the report indicates that solar cycle has been impacting Earth *until* (not since) the Industrial Revolution, and that climate change since the Ind Rev is due to human activity.
