Of Course It's the Sun Stupid!

SEE HERE The IPCC discounting of the sun as a major climate driver is just stupid, and it is obviously stupid. You have to wonder how ordinary people with any common sense sign up for this stuff. I supposed it's a sign that scientists have some credibility, although if they keep saying and proposing stupid things they won't for long. The sun has to be the single most important contribution to climate because it is the primary driver. We'd all be dead in short order were the sun to decide to go out. The interaction of the sun with the earth operates on quite a few levels ranging from the specific energy output to the effects of the solar wind on the earth's magnetosphere and hence interactions with incoming high energy charged particles. There are always those who imagine they fully understand the systems involved. It's doubtful. There is still much to be discovered.
