DailyTech - Solar Activity Diminishes; Researchers Predict Another Ice Age:

Researcher Dr. Timothy Patterson, director of the Geoscience Center at Carleton University, shares the concern. Patterson is finding "excellent correlations" between solar fluctuations, a relationship that historically, he says doesn't exist between CO2 and past climate changes. [emphasis added] According to Patterson. we shouldn't be surprised by a solar link. "The sun [is] the ultimate source of energy on this planet," he says.

Oh no! Is it too late to start increasing our greenhouse gas emissions, to keep the planet from freezing over? ;)

Whatever is the truth about how we affect our environment, it's good to be reminded of our insignificance — and our uncertainty.
