As was reported on FoxNews, a physicist has conclusive evidence that the sun is the major contributing factor in Earth temperatures rising.
A new scientific study reports that it’s a clear fact that the earth’s climate has been changing, but claims the changes may be more natural than man-made. In the latest Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics, Turkish physicist Ali Kilcik sought to establish a parallel between solar activity change and variations in the Earth’s climate.
Kilcik and his team compared solar data and air temperature for two countries half a world apart — the U.S. and Japan — from 1900 to 1995. Kilcik concluded that solar activity variations have a “marked influence” on the Earth’s climate.

We sought whether a parallelism between the solar activity variations and the changes in the Earth’s climate can be established. For this, we compared the solar irradiance model data reconstructed by J. Lean to surface air temperature variations of two countries: USA and Japan. Comparison was carried out in two categories: correlations and periodicities. We utilized data from a total of 60 stations, 18 in USA and 42 in Japan. USA data range from 1900 to 1995, while Japan data range from 1900 to 1990.
Our analyses yielded a 42 per cent correlation for USA and a 79 per cent for Japan between the temperature and solar irradiance. Moreover, both data sets showed similar periodicities. Hence, our results indicate marked influence of solar activity variations on the Earth’s climate.

While nobody likes pollution, it’s time to destroy these myths about rising temperatures being the fault of someone deciding to buy a new Hummer.
