The OP article is correct and confirms what many have said for many years. It only makes logical sense. The sun does change the amount of energy it puts out. This can be tracked using sunspots and other measurements to indicate this. There is much historical evidence of change in climate based on variability in the sun. See "the little ice age", The Maunder minimum, the "medieval warm period" if your interested in further research. Its all there and its all tied to the sun. Just consider that the climate has changed in England so much at at one point in history, the Thames river would regularly freeze over in winter, and yet at other times, it was warm enough to grow grapes there. All this is before the industrial revolution.
Finally, I would remind you that North America has supposedly had 4 ice ages. If that's true, then how can we say that climate is constant unless man changes it.
Let's face it the idiotic loons who wish to ship jobs to China will never relent in their effort to screw the American worker and consumer. And liberals wonder why people hate their policies.
Rational people would understand the earth warms anyway while still coming out of the mini-ice age.
No doubt.
