Study acquits sun of climate change
Sydney’s The Daily Telegraph is saying Study acquits sun of climate change.
THE sun’s energy output has barely varied over the past 1000 years, raising chances that global warming has human rather than celestial causes, a study showed today.
Researchers from Germany, Switzerland and the United States found that the sun’s brightness varied by only 0.07 per cent over 11-year sunspot cycles, far too little to account for the rise in temperatures since the Industrial Revolution.
“Our results imply that over the past century climate change due to human influences must far outweigh the effects of changes in the sun’s brightness,” said Tom Wigley of the US National Centre for Atmospheric Research.
The evidence just keeps on piling up. People cause global warming. People can fix it. You can be the change™. Offset your personal CO2 emissions today and make a real difference. — DS
