Greenpeace's Peter Taylor on Global Warming

"Behind the scenes there is major disagreement among scientists. Parallel to CO2 rising, the solar field has increased by 200% since 1900 and this is not factored into the computer models. Many of the apparently random fluctuations of past temperature - like when the Vikings grew crops in Greenland - correlate to variations in the solar electric field.......Between 1983 and 2000, cloud-cover, according the International Satellite Cloud Climatology Project, fell by 4%, more than enough to heat oceans and account for global warming.......A spate of recent science shows that temperature oscillations are timed by solar cycles, that the jet-stream is affected by the solar wind and that past high and low points in the solar cycle correlate (and, no, there isn't a 600-800 year lag, either) with past temperature swings."..........................................................................................And as for 1993 to 2003 being hottest decade on record, a) they've only been recording temperatures since 1860, b) the Minoan, Roman, and Medieval (think Eric the Red in a tank-top) warming periods were all infinitely hotter (strong geological evidence), and c) by the mid-19th Century we were actually coming out of a mini ice-age and so OF COURSE WE ARE IN THE MIDST OF A WARMING PERIOD!!! Ay yay yay.
