Pooey I am not interested in discussing this with kool-ade drinkers. I do hope you understand. I would like for you to answer my question though.
What is Kool Ade? Never heard of it...

If you care to see what a lot of very highly credentialed scientists are saying on the subject, there is a pretty good concentration of sources and direct quotes at this site:

You should know that quite a few of this are listed in your beloved IPCC report and they have now withdrawn their endorsement of that report after THEY looked closely at the evidence.

Here's what one of them said:
It's interesting that in your very own cited paragraph just as an example, we see this
Quote:
"Solar activity can explain a large part of the 20th-century global warming" and "it is unlikely that [the solar climate link] does not exist," Shaviv noted, pointing to the impact cosmic- rays have on the atmosphere. According to the National Post, Shaviv believes that even a doubling of CO2 in the atmosphere by 2100 "will not dramatically increase the global temperature."
Of course, we have done more research into this solar link but it doesn't seem likely, unlike what he suggests.

However, I am in agreement with some of what is said in your extensive source; that the event has been sensationalised by the media and used by political forces.
Of course, there's a very simple solution to this debate. Find the natural cause(s) of these recent increase in temperature and we can discount human activity.
