Second largest source of heat in the solar system
A series of images of the Sun, taken by the Japanese satellite Hinode, have left scientists scratching their heads in amazement; apparently the star is acting in ways contrary to the expectations of the experts.
As the big, hot, fireball hanging in the sky is kooky, quirky, and did I mention really, really hot, there are those of us who think that just maybe small increases in its output might have something to do with any increase in the average temperature of the Earth -- as well as recent increases detected on Mars and Jupiter.
But there's another reason why the Hinode images relate to the global warming hoo-ha, something known in the trade as TEDND: The Experts Don't Know Dick
The reality is that scientists are constantly being reminded that what they know -- know, dammit! -- to be true, is often proved wrong by certain, erm, inconvenient truths. Celestial bodies act in ways that the experts assured us just weren't possible (The moon is made of green cheese; Rosie O'Donnell is pleasant and sane).
The same geniuses who assure us that their hockey-stick charts and formulae prove that global warming will accelerate over the next century can't come up with a reliable algoreithim that can accurately forecast the weather next week.
Oh, here's the greatest source of localized atmospheric thermal-dynamic hyper-dynamism in the solar system.

You're out of your freaking mind..
While it might be that increases in the sun's output is having some effect, you disregard the reality that carbon dioxide levels haven't exceeded 300 ppm in 600,000 years!!!
With carbon now over 400 ppm - and rising daily - and the clear correlation of carbon with temperature - idiots like you will be the reason for a major devolution of human life on the planet.
