I blog about environmental and social justice issues because I am very concerned about the health of the interdependent web of life of which we are a part.

Climate Change Sceptics In Error

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7327393.stm
Scientists have produced further compelling evidence showing that modern-day climate change is not caused by changes in the Sun's activity.  The research contradicts a favoured theory of climate "sceptics", that changes in cosmic rays coming to Earth determine cloudiness and temperature.  The idea is that variations in solar activity affect cosmic ray intensity. But UK scientists found there has been no significant link between cosmic rays and cloudiness in the last 20 years.
Will the media publicize this the way they publicized "ClimateGate?"  They should - because we all need to understand that climate change is real and that we need to deal with it now.
