edwhit, where did you get that information?
[note, this is all copied info that i had previously posed in one of the other
golbal warming threads here.]
The suns radiation has been dimmer in the past couple hundred years.
This is because we are getting farther from the sun.
Earth trends show us we are entering a glacial period.
This planets orbit around the sun oscillates from a round orbit to an ellyptical one.
6000 years ago the planets orbit peaked in it's circular and began its transition to its ellyptical.
Why this is important is that the round orbit gives a more regular warming which allows the earth to generally warm up. The ellyptical one is uneven and produces a general cooling.
We know this cycle has persisted for at least 700,000 years from measurements we made through ice core and sea bed samples.
The science is that the ellyptical orbit we are presently getting further and further into affords us less and less insolation. This is the reason for the back and forth of the planets glacial cycles.
This is all irrefutable, observable evidence and along with the physics of carbon (it's heat absorbing properties) blows to shit any argument that says global warming RIGHT NOW is a natural process.
