New causes for Global Warming found?
Cosmic Rays Linked to Global Warming

Earth's recent warming trend might in part be due to a lack of starlight reaching our planet, a new study suggests. But other scientists are not so sure.
According to a theory proposed a decade ago, when a star explodes far away in the Milky Way, cosmic rays—high-speed atomic particles—go through the Earth’s atmosphere and produce ions and free electrons.
The released electrons act as catalysts and accelerate the formation of small clusters of sulfuric acid and water molecules, the building blocks of clouds. Therefore, cosmic rays would increase cloud cover on Earth, reflecting sunlight and keeping the planet relatively cool.
However, because the Sun’s magnetic field—which shields the Earth from these rays—doubled in intensity during the last century, there has been a reduction in cloudiness, a possible contributor to Earth’s warming.

Hot air should be limited from all politicians. It can only help with global warming! |

I'm not so sure. I guess we will see by the turnout in two weeks. If they are pissed they will stay home. If not the R's get to stay in power for two more years.
Why do you think they are that pissed at GW? They got one of them in there. |

| I think they will stick with him in the long run. Like I said, turnout will tell the tale. |
