"I believe, from the evidence available, that global warming is real, and occurring, and is part of the nature of being on a planet of a variable star like the sun"

But where is your evidence for this? Have you read any of the links I put up? Show me where your evidence is - not those links to Jupiter and Mars you put up earlier - refer to my previous posts for the evidence on those sites. I need references and links bruce - show me the data and analysis. Show me the experts discussions.

"The effect of a change in solar flux is illustrated by the climactic changes upon other planets of the same sun (which have totally different models, BUT still are heat-driven engines that react to the energy input into them)"

You ain't listening mate. Show me the evidence I asked for in previous posts. What about the other planets. Show me where the evidence for the Sun heating Jupiter is.

I have presented plenty of evidence to show the case for current global warming is because of man pumping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. It's all in the links in previous posts. Your single source for your 'solar flux' hypothesis is the link to the Abdussamatov article - his evidence was debunked convincingly by climatologists in the very same article. So show me another article that supports this theory.

Just repeating the same old line parrot-fashion does not make a convincing argument.

Not all extant dinosaurs do taste of chicken. Phasianus colchicus tastes just like pheasant.
