What's going on with the Sun?

"Earlier this month a lot of column inches were devoted to the news that
the Sun continues to behave in a peculiar manner – and that solar activity
could be about to enter a period of extended calm. The story emerged after
three groups of researchers presented independent studies at the annual
meeting of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical
Society, which appear to support this theory. But are the new findings
really that clear-cut and what implications do they have for the climate
here on Earth?

"Finally, even if the Sun were to head into a quiet period, others argue
that the reduction in solar irradiance on Earth would still be small
compared with the heating caused by man-made global warming. Mike
Lockwood, a researcher at the University of Reading, estimates that the
change in climate radiative forcing since the Maunder minimum is about one
tenth of the change caused by man-made trace greenhouse gases".

Earth's Global Warming is causing the Sun to get hotter by radiating more
heat back to the sun.

Shuuuush, don't give them ideas!

ROTFL!! Nice idea, but nonsense! The earth is too small and too far
away to affect the sun.

Don't worry -- some "climatologist" will come up with a hypothesis to
support that notion. Then, the usual suspects from the AGW crowd will
offer their support, claiming that the "majority of climatologists"
support it.

Hey! I was waiting for "Wormley" to make the claim that man-made CO2
is causing changes in the sun!

SAVE THE SUN! CARBON TAXES NOW!
