Someone still needs to explain to me how the little ice age could have happened before man started burning fossil fuels and reproducing to the likes of 6 billion. Greenland was colonized and then abandoned during this time because of a 7 degree Fahrenheit temp change over only 80 years.

The thing that bothers me is that these global warming fanatics refuse to acknowledge the fact that we are actually still in an ice age. The average global temp is 14.2C and we are in an interglacial period. When the ice age was at its peak, global temps were 12C. Before the ice age the average global temp was 22C. Thats far above what we currently have and even when it was 22C the world survived.

No, the sun is the cause of global climate change, man has little to no impact. Even now there are studies that point out the fact that the suns activity seems to be slowing down. Its entirely possible that should the activity drop off like it did in the 1600s we could very well see years with almost no warming between winters.

it happened most likely because of a complete lack of sun spots. when the sun enters low periods of activity it allows more interstellar cosmic rays to reach earth which in turn create more cloud cover. with an increase in clouds the earth receives less of the suns radiation, because it is reflected back by the clouds. with less radiation reaching the ground you will get a net cooling effect as the oceans will have absorbed less heat and therefore have less heat to transport around the globe.

and currently it is looking like we might just be entering such a period again.

another way the sun directly effects the earths magnetosphere

Seen that one. Scientists really don't understand how the suns cycles work and the recent decline in activity has allot of them scrambling for new theories.

If the global temps continue to decline and we slip into what could be considered a little ice age, there will still be those who will blame man for profit... (Al Gore).

If you want to know what Al is all about look at his personal worth before and after he started the whole global warming campaign. It is the about the money, not saving the earth.
