When solar sunspot cycles are plotted versus annual changes in the 
Earth's temperature using data from the Danish Meteorology Institute 
in Copenhagen, the correlation is astounding! Carbon dioxide levels 
are not relevant.

The August 28, 2009, issue of SCIENCE describes how a team of 
scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research used a 
century's worth of data and powerful computer analyses to show how 
small changes in solar activity including sun spot cycles can cause 
significant changes in the Earth's climate.

Along these lines, Professor R. Timothy Patterson, Director of the 
Ottawa-Carleton Geoscience Center in Canada has been quoted as 
saying, "carbon dioxide variations show little correlation with our 
planet's climate on long-, medium-, and even short-term time scales."
