Stop the presses! Stop the presses! Scientists have just confirmed: It’s the sun that warms our planet – not humans!
 
CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research has just reported, rather reluctantly, the results of their “CLOUD” (Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets) experiment. I’m no science expert, so here’s Lawrence Solomon’s description of the findings:
 
 

…cosmic rays promote the formation of molecules that in Earth’s atmosphere can grow and seed clouds, the cloudier and thus cooler it will be. Because the sun’s magnetic field controls how many cosmic rays reach Earth’s atmosphere (the stronger the sun’s magnetic field, the more it shields Earth from incoming cosmic rays from space), the sun determines the temperature on Earth.

 
British science writer and proponent of the CLOUD project, Nigel Calder, has lots more details.
 
This is yet another one of the stories we can expect not to be widely reported in the msm. Especially because CERN doesn’t really want it reported. The organization’s director general, Rolf-Dieter Heuer, asked that the results be presented clearly but not interpreted because; “That would go immediately into the highly political arena of the climate change debate.” (Meaning, of course: On the “wrong” side of the debate.)
 
But really, as an Investors Business Daily editorial says:

How long the Al Gores, James Hansens, Rolf-Dieter Heuers and other defenders of the indefensible can hang on to their fable isn’t altogether clear.
 
With the help of an eager media, they have spun a nearly believable tale of fright and insulated themselves well from the skeptics…
 
…The promoters of the faith had a long run. They’ve been feted and joined by the media, and conned a good piece of the public into believing their claims of inevitable disaster. They’ve made wild amounts of money and increased their realm of influence.
 
But now it’s time for reality to intervene. For sound thinking to overcome shallow thought and trendy pursuit. To rely on observable facts. To move beyond the oppressive reign of junk science.
