Yeah, Rogue was trying to push this crap one morning— it was the first I’d heard of it. The weird part about using this for denial is that the paper I believe explicilty references that the amount of cosmic rays hitting the earth has not increased over the past few decades, which it would have had to in order for cosmic rays to produce global warming.

I mean, it’s simple. Are cosmic rays— or any other form of solar radiation— causing global warming? Well, have they increased during this warming period? No. Well, it’s not them, then.

Has CO2 increased? Yep. Would you expect to see warming when CO2 increased? Yep. Is warming occurring in line with CO2 increase? Yep.

What is so fucking hard about that?
