Some folks got a good laugh regarding the post, Global Warming Caused By the Sun. They ignored the fact that humans only have about a 5% impact on global warming, though the elite would tax you and have you believe otherwise.
Well brace yourself, the rhetoric is going to get worse because the violent weather patterns are going to get worse...and not because of industrialization:
NASA reports Is a New Solar Cycle Beginning?
(Click on image) Dec. 14, 2007: The solar physics community is abuzz this week. No, there haven't been any great eruptions or solar storms. The source of the excitement is a modest knot of magnetism that popped over the sun's eastern limb on Dec. 11th, pictured below in a pair of images from the orbiting Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO).
It may not look like much, but "this patch of magnetism could be a sign of the next solar cycle," says solar physicist David Hathaway of the Marshall Space Flight Center.
For more than a year, the sun has been experiencing a lull in activity, marking the end of Solar Cycle 23, which peaked with many furious storms in 2000--2003.
The big question now is, when will the next solar cycle begin? It could be starting now.
So, if Solar Cycle 23 caused "many furious storms" during it's peak, what will Solar Cycle 24 bring? Let's check NASA:
March 2006: Solar Storm Warning
It's official: Solar minimum has arrived. Sunspots have all but vanished. Solar flares are nonexistent. The sun is utterly quiet. Like the quiet before a storm.
This week researchers announced that a storm is coming--the most intense solar maximum in fifty years. The prediction comes from a team led by Mausumi Dikpati of the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR). "The next sunspot cycle will be 30% to 50% stronger than the previous one," she says. If correct, the years ahead could produce a burst of solar activity second only to the historic Solar Max of 1958.
Another NASA website describes the sun's impact on the earth's climate:
Everyone is familiar with changes in the weather on Earth. But "weather" also occurs in space. Just as it drives weather on Earth, the Sun is responsible for disturbances in our space environment.
See how NASA is not embarrassed to state the relationship between solar activity and the impact on our climate?
J. W. King of the Appleton Laboratory, England penned this 1974 citation, Weather and the Earth's magnetic field in the Nature Journal:
A comparison of meteorological pressures and the strength of the geomagnetic field suggests a possible controlling influence of the field on the longitudinal variation of the average pressure in the troposphere at high latitudes. If so, changes which occur in the pattern of 'permanent' depressions in the troposphere as the magnetic field varies (for example, as the non-dipole component of the field drifts westwards) may be accompanied by climatic changes.
The UK's Guardian makes this reference in 2002:
There is a growing body of evidence that the sun's highly charged particles batter the upper atmosphere so hard that some of the assault filters down into the atmosphere around us, influencing the wind, atmospheric pressure and temperature. (ed. note: layman terms-"weather")
In this piece, Weather Phenomenon and Elements, the Keith C. Heidorn, PhD writes:
"As this solar wind storm buffets the magnetosphere, and portions of its energy are transferred to the magnetosphere, a geomagnetic storm results on Earth. When geomagnetic storms (occur), natural hazards like hurricanes and tsunamis, are severe"
These geomagnetic storms induced by solar flares wreak havoc with the upper atmosphere, the ozone layer and the earth's magnetic field. MSNBC quote Charles Jackman of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center:
The weakening, if coupled with a subsequently large influx of radiation in the form of protons streaming from the sun, can also affect the chemistry of the atmosphere...That can lead to significant but temporary losses of atmospheric ozone.
It may be a temporary loss of ozone, but the increased frequency of this occurrence in the coming solar cycle will contribute to the increased frequency of weather disasters.
A 2002 NASA study finds that by the 2030s climate change may surpass chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) as the main driver of overall ozone loss.

And what has the most influence on global climate change? THE SUN.
So, in the coming solar cycle which is predicted to be perhaps the strongest on record, the earth's already weakening magnetic field, ozone layer and upper atmosphere will take the beating of a lifetime. Oh, don't forget those magnetic "ropes" that connect the sun to the earth recently discovered by NASA.
Now we have the earth tied to the sun while the sun convulses in one of it's most violent of solar cycles.
And if that isn't enough, visit PBS' broadcast MAGNETIC STORM. PETER OLSON (Johns Hopkins University), JOHN SHAW (University of Liverpool) and MARIO ACUNA (NASA Goddard Space Flight Center discuss another internal factor impacting the earth's weakening magnetic field and thus producing climate change: magnetic pole reversal.
Climate change is a symptom of the decaying magnetic field of the earth, weakened without by the assault of solar storms and weakened within by it's own soon-to-reverse magnetic core.
