I am attending the Albuquerque HPS meeting next month. See you there!

The correlation between solar activity and the Earth's temperature 
changes is quite impressive and I believe it is scientifically 
meaningful.  In contrast, the carbon dioxide models are tenuous and 
scientifically weak and they do not correlate well with what has 
happened in the last 100 years.  In about 1970 during a time of low 
solar activity, the news was predicting an approaching ice age !

Sure, 1998 was local high for the Earth's temperature and the warmest 
year of the Century. However, it is he solar models that demonstrate 
a distinct year by year relationship, while no such relationship can 
be shown to be associated with atmospheric carbon dioxide.

I think that there is a real problem with global warming fanaticism.
