Don't blame rising levels of carbon dioxide (C02) for = whatever=20 global warming is now taking place; put the blame on "old = sol" =97 the=20 sun may be getting ready to put the world into the deep = freezer.

So say a growing number of scientists who have studied = the effect=20 of the sun on the earth's climate and concluded that the = only thing=20 scientists understand about climate change is that it is = always=20 changing.

"Climate stability has never been a feature of planet = earth,=94=20 explains R. Timothy Patterson professor and director of the=20 Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Centre, Department of Earth = Sciences,=20 Carleton University in an article in the Financial Post.=20

"The only constant about climate is change; it changes=20 continually and, at times, quite rapidly. Many times in the = past,=20 temperatures were far higher than today, and occasionally,=20 temperatures were colder. As recently as 6,000 years ago, it = was=20 about 3 C warmer than now. Ten thousand years ago, while the = world=20 was coming out of the thousand-year-long =91Younger Dryas=92 = cold=20 episode, temperatures rose as much as 6 C in a decade =97 = 100 times=20 faster than the past century's.=94

Dr. Patterson insists that even though advocates of the = global=20 warming theory such as Al Gore are insisting that the "the = science=20 is settled," that is far from being the case.

Story=20 Continues Below

"The fact that science is many years away from = properly=20 understanding global climate doesn't seem to bother our = leaders at=20 all," Patterson wrote." Inviting testimony only from those = who don't=20 question political orthodoxy on the issue, parliamentarians = are=20 charging ahead with the impossible and expensive goal of = 'stopping=20 global climate change.'=94

He cited the assertion by Canadian parliament member = Ralph=20 Goodale that parliament should have "a real good discussion = about=20 the potential for carbon capture and sequestration in = dealing with=20 carbon dioxide, which has tremendous potential for improving = the=20 climate, not only here in Canada but around the world.=94 = Patterson=20 observed that it "would be humorous were he, and even the = current=20 government, not deadly serious about devoting vast resources = to this=20 hopeless crusade."

Patterson explained that an extensive scientific project = he=20 conducted for his government regarding the health of the = Canadian=20 fishing industry yielded results that concerned not just the = condition of the native fishery, but how solar activity = regulates=20 climate.

The research that involved taking core samples of mud at = the=20 bottom of deep Western Canadian fjords used sophisticated = technology=20 that enabled him and his team to collect more than 5,000 = years'=20 worth of mud. "Clearly visible in our mud cores are annual = changes=20 that record the different seasons,=94 he explained.

Briefly, the research showed "a direct correlation = between=20 variations in the brightness of the sun and earthly climate=20 indicators (called proxies ),=94 a find, he wrote, that is = not unique=20 since hundreds of other studies, using proxies from tree = rings in=20 Russia's Kola Peninsula to water levels of the Nile, show = exactly=20 the same thing: a direct correlation between variations in = the=20 brightness of the sun and earthly climate indicators.=20

Among= =20 his conclusions:

"I and the first-class scientists I work with are = consistently=20 finding excellent correlations between the regular = fluctuations in=20 the brightness of the sun and earthly climate. This is not=20 surprising. The sun and the stars are the ultimate source of = all=20 energy on the planet.=94

In a 2003 poll conducted by German environmental = Researchers=20 Dennis Bray and Hans von Storch, two-thirds of more than 530 = climate=20 scientists from 27 countries surveyed did not believe that = "the=20 current state of scientific knowledge is developed well = enough to=20 allow for a reasonable assessment of the effects of = greenhouse=20 gases." About half of those polled stated that the science = of=20 climate change was not sufficiently settled to pass the = issue over=20 to policymakers at all.

"Ours is one of the highest-quality climate records = available=20 anywhere today, and in it we see obvious confirmation that = natural=20 climate change can be dramatic. For example, in the middle = of a=20 62-year slice of the record at about 4,400 years ago, there = was a=20 shift in climate in only a couple of seasons from warm, dry, = and=20 sunny conditions to one that was mostly cold and rainy for = several=20 decades.=94

"In a series of groundbreaking scientific papers = starting in=20 2002, Veizer, Shaviv, Carslaw, and most recently Svensmark = et al.,=20 have collectively demonstrated that as the output of the sun = varies,=20 and with it our star's protective solar wind, varying = amounts of=20 galactic cosmic rays from deep space are able to enter our = solar=20 system and penetrate the earth's atmosphere. These cosmic = rays=20 enhance cloud formation which, overall, has a cooling effect = on the=20 planet."

"Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be = starting into its weakest Schwabe solar cycle of the past = two=20 centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on = earth.=20 Beginning to plan for adaptation to such a cool period, one = which=20 may continue well beyond one 11-year cycle, as did the = little ice=20 age, should be a priority for governments. It is global = cooling, not=20 warming, that is the major climate threat to the world, = especially=20 Canada.=94

Astrophysicist Nir Shariv, a prolific researcher and one = of=20 Israel's top young scientists who was cited by Patterson, no = longer=20 accepts the logic of man-made global warming. "Like many = others, I=20 was personally sure that CO2 is the bad culprit in the story = of=20 global warming,=94 Shariv wrote. "But after carefully = digging into the=20 evidence, I realized that things are far more complicated = than the=20 story sold to us by many climate scientists or the stories=20 regurgitated by the media."

According to Dr. Shariv there is no concrete evidence =97 = only=20 speculation =97 that manmade greenhouse gases cause global = warming.=20 Even research from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate = Change is=20 bereft of anything here inspiring confidence.

"Solar activity can explain a large part of the = 20th-century=20 global warming," he states, adding that the sun's strong = role=20 indicates that greenhouse gases can't have much of an = influence on=20 the climate =97 nor will cutbacks in future C02 emissions = will matter=20 much in terms of the climate.

Even doubling the amount of CO2 by 2100, "will not = dramatically=20 increase the global temperature," Shaviv states.

Finally, an article formally located at = climatecentral.org, now=20 found at iceagenow.com, states that should solar activity = take a=20 dive tomorrow, the temperatures would cool significantly.=20

"Solar activity has overpowered any effect that CO2 has = had=20 before, and it most likely will again,=94 the article avers. = "In fact,=20 we should be more afraid of a cooling trend because of a = solar=20 minimum that will peak in 2030 that could be fairly large. = As we saw=20 from a minor solar minimum in the mid 1900s, the earth = suddenly=20 started to cool. If we were to have even a medium sized = solar=20 minimum, we could be looking at a lot more bad effects than = 'global=20 warming' would have had.=94
