  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.
