• Increased output from the Sun might be to blame for 10 to 30 percent of global warming that has been measured in the past 20 years, according to a new report.
  
  Increased emissions of carbon dioxide and other heat-trapping gases still play a role, the scientists say.
  
  But climate models of global warming should be corrected to better account for changes in solar activity, according to Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West of Duke University.
  
  The findings were published online this week by the journal Geophysical Research Letters.
  
  Scientists agree the planet is warming. Effects are evident in melting glaciers and reductions in the amount of frozen ground around the planet.
  
  The new study is based in part on Columbia University research from 2003 in which scientists found errors in how data on solar brightness is interpreted. A gap in data, owing to satellites not being deployed after the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster, were filled by less accurate data from other satellites, Scafetta says.
  
  The Duke analyses examined solar changes over 22 years versus 11 years used in previous studies. The cooling effect of volcanoes and cyclical shifts in ocean currents can have a greater negative impact on the accuracy of shorter data periods.

Bush has been playing with the output control switch. He keeps turning it up when Uncle Dick and Uncle Don aren't looking.

At least it's personal destruction, as opposed to your method --- Sidd is a Dem, Byrd is a Dem, therefore Sidd is a racist.

I said I am not saying that. I am just dismayed by the wayward moral compass associated with modern demo party membership.

I am already lining up the hit pieces. I am going to exploit the 527 thing all the way. It will be pretty hard for anyone running against Delay to screw this up.

Yes, but RT was citing the Demos as potential screw-ups. Think the Party of Gore......the Party of Kerry. These people are well-honed in the art of pulling defeat out of the hat of sure victory.

Yes but we can screw things up pretty fast to. Power breeds arrogance. Delay is a disgrace. He is a social conservative and a borderline socialist. He is worth more to the Dems in office than he has ever been or will be to us. We need to jettison this guy before he can do more damage.

He is going to feel the weight and power of the Silicon Valley money here shortley.

In case you guys haven't figured it out (Ty pay close attention to this) I am the epicenter of the unverse. If I am not posting it means I am busy and need time to do other stuff. So if I am not posting people need to slow down so I can catch up when I get back. You guys ran umuck today and now I will never have a chance to read all the posts.

Lets get our priorities straight.

Because Bennett's, DeLay's, Frists's moral compasses point due north?
