    Big Lie.

    The Sun's solar energy output is at an 8,000 year high.

    In England, they are getting 20% more sunlight in the winter than in 1929.

    CO2 is a byprdocut of a small amount of warming caused by more sunshine and solar energy reaching the earth.

    The CO2 dissolved in the ocean is released by a the small amount of warming.

    The cause and effect of CO2 to warming is not proven.

    NASA and IPCC's own data shows no global temperature rise since 1999!
    CO2 91% cause of global warming?!!!!!!!.Even the most warped view of the IPCC admit that water vapour is 50 % the cause and REAL scientists say 90-95%.
    A new paper using historic measurements of CO2 levels from actual measurements is interesting.
