    Topic 2

    Re global warming, I note that those asking for "proof" of your position, that the evidence favors natural solar cycles as the driver of climate temperature change, never notice that the various theories are so far all simply that, hypotheses, of which NONE has been "PROVEN." The manmade global warming hypothesis is certainly the weakest, based as it is upon the THEORY that CO2 changes are a driver of temperature change, and that the only things supporting this theory are computer models, not direct observation. Indeed, CO2 levels appear to change several centuries AFTER temperature changes. An immutable law, until time machines are invented, is that causes cannot follow effects.

    Your position is supportable by evidence that the entire solar system warms with sun cycles. This is quite suggestive, but is not PROOF as yet, to be sure.
