Temperature rises 'not caused by sun'

The rearguard action of denialists still has to be dealt with, particularly as a recent UK poll had just over 50% denying that global warming was anthropogenic (though the good news seems to be that it is recognised to be a fact; it's the cause that is disputed). "Mike Lockwood, a physicist at the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in the UK, said: 'It is absolutely clear that the sun is nothing to do with the recent warming. This doesn't rely on models, it uses real data and it shows that all the solar trends have been going in the opposite direction for the last 20 years.'"Temperature rises 'not caused by sun' | Climate change | Guardian Unlimited Environment:
