Two Duke University Physicists have reported that at least 10 to 30 percent of global warming measured during the past two decades may be due to increased solar output, rather than factors such as increased heat-absorbing carbon dioxide gas released by various human activities.
The physicists, Nicola Scafetta and Bruce West - both of Duke University, claim that their findings indicate that climate models of global warming need to be need to be adjusted for changes in solar activity and its effect on the global climate. Their theory is complimentary to current Climate Change theories, and both emphasized that their conclusions are not meant to compete against the mainstream theory that significant global warming is occurring because of carbon dioxide and other “greenhouse” gas emissions.

Man's impact on the global climate is the biggest danger that the human race faces today. We as a species have to overcome many preconceived notions to face this dilemma and we should know a few things about our enemy. The climate sees no borders, and does not discriminate based on politcal beliefs, religion, skin color, or sexuality, and will surely affect all of us in ways that we cannot imagine in the years to come.
Thing are happening on this planet right now that have dire consequences of for all humans. Accelerating Polar Ice Melt, the deforestation of the Amazon Basin and other large tropical forests, rising sea surface temperatures, massive coral die-offs, droughts, floods and stronger hurricanes are all interconnected and seem to be spinning out of control. For us to really make a difference in our affect on Global Climate Change, we are all going to have to work together as a species.
