Global Warming: Are We Confusing Cause and Effect?
The writers show that the present-day global warming is not due to the increase in the volume of greenhouse gases, but rather to the increased solar activity. It appears that we are at the rising phase of the latest 80–90 year cycle of the solar activity. At the present time, there is no sound justi...
