Finally, Someone Gets A Grip!!

It's alternatively frightening and hilarious to watch the "global warming" debate. (Don't you love that word - debate? As if two sides have actually been presented!!!) Frightening for two reasons: if the gloomy side is right - we might actually be in for a pretty wild ride!! -- if the gloomers are wrong, we are naked in our own eyes at how pitifully vulnerable we are to repetitious propaganda ... and hilarious because they are so cute in their childish fears ... they are absolutely hysterical!! "Who's On First " bows to their comedic brilliance!!
Meet another target of leftist repudiation, Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shariv. First he describes the steps to becoming a gloomer:

Step One Scientists for decades have postulated that increases in carbon dioxide and other gases could lead to a greenhouse effect.
Step Two As if on cue, the temperature rose over the course of the 20th century while greenhouse gases proliferated due to human activities.
Step Three No other mechanism explains the warming. Without another candidate, greenhouses gases necessarily became the cause.

There are many links called "the deniers" numbered #1 thru #10. All are excellent reading. But one more paragraph...

In another study, directly relevant to today's climate controversy, Dr. Shaviv reconstructed the temperature on Earth over the past 550 million years to find that cosmic ray flux variations explain more than two-thirds of Earth's temperature variance, making it the most dominant climate driver over geological time scales. The study also found that an upper limit can be placed on the relative role of CO2 as a climate driver, meaning that a large fraction of the global warming witnessed over the past century could not be due to CO2 -- instead it is attributable to the increased solar activity.
