The sun's influence on heating and cooling the earth is obviously greater than any other factor.<br /><br />Stupid, poorly worded question. Interesting how many people answered something different than the question actually asked.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575178552426939685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8216971263350849959.post-47866497561774890772011-09-07T20:10:54.913+02:002011-09-07T20:10:54.913+02:00Thats true.

Therefore I would answer that is very likely (as it is not quantified, how much).<br /><br />*3 dito Hans #3<br /><br />What is the general knowledge of people about the mechanisms of how the sun might impact climate?

This analysis reveals the scientific incompetence at the very heart of the current consensus, and is definitive for any real progress in climate science now (and of course ruinous for the current political movement against "greenhouse gases", and especially carbon dioxide as a "pollutant", all of which is simply denied by the true facts).Harry Dale Huffmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03210275295826050501noreply@blogger.com
