    No, for it is dynamic stability. Otherwise we would be boiling all day and freezing at night. The sunspots are indicators of a long term solar output, not the cause of the fluctuations.

    But the average day and night-time temperatures would have changed with sunspot activity if there was a link, and they didn't.

      I thought that global temperature was linked to the number of pirates. :-D Changes in sunspot activity that apparently cause temperature changes on Earth don't cause corresponding temperature changes on Mars, so I am suspicious of claims of a direct link.

      Mars does not have a water vapour atmosphere that can form clouds thus the interplay between cosmic rays and solar wind is not the same. However, in respect of the variability of the suns production of heat, then this does affect mars: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/02/070228-mars-warming.html[^]

        So there are no pirates on Mars?

          Yeah, between the oceans and the atmosphere we have a relatively stable diurnal temperature. The moon by comparison, the same distance from the sun goes from -150 to +100. As for the relative strengths of the sea and atmosphere, consider the Sahara which has a very dry, ie low GH gas, atmosphere above it. -10 to +50 or so is the resulting range.

                I don't discuss it because I know enough to know that I don't know enough about the science behind the global warming debate to be able to have a reasoned discussion on it; so I leave the topic well alone.

                Unlike other areas of science I think climate science is so imature that it can be discussed by laymen. After all, amateurs have historically had a massive impact on science. Sachs for example with his study of botany. And, not only that, the topic of GW is not only one of science, but of politics, fraud, and propaganda. Those surely are fit meat for discussion! :)

                  But I don't know enough about which is which to contribute in any meaningful way. Without the background in the science, I have to rely on others to try and sort out the various parts - and the problem is, there are so many vested interests that it's hard to find any impartial information. Everybody has an agenda here.

                    My agenda is for truth. Science has a strict methodology, and climate change abandons that in favour of headlines designed to engineer funding and fear for the purposes of human control and taxation. In no cases at all ever has there been peer reviewed unequivocal proof, or even evidence of , AGW. That the climate changes is accepted, it always has and always will. But to say we are responsible is just scientifically fraudulent.

                      Yes, thats true. When I first started getting suspicious of AGW, purely because I stumbled across a few sites on the net that grabbed my interest, it took a long time to wade through the massive amount of stuff written anout it, and to understand the science behind it. Years in fact. As for vested interests, well, it gets partisan at this point, but I dont think the sceptics are funded by the oil industry in any significant way compared to the AGE funding received by the pro AGW camp. Instead I think many sceptics are driven entirely by a respect for truth and a desire not to see science abused. Which is where I come from.
