After years of global warming which we have been taught that man and man alone was responsible for a 1 degree rise in temperatures over the past century. For years environmental extremist have discounted or ignored all scientific evidence that points to the inescapable fact that global temperature changes occur in cycles and the obvious fact that solar activity as significantly increased in the past two centuries.

Now as global temperatures have remained steady (and even declined in some places) during the last decade, global warming alarmists are on a mad dash to explain away this phenomenon or risk loosing all credibility. Their solution: global warming is just on hold for the next decade or so because of changes in ocean currents and temperatures.

Does this mean that we should disregard the environment and continue to rely on fossil fuels with reckless abandon? Certainly not, even if there were no environmental concerns whatsoever, from a national security standpoint it makes sense to pursue alternative energy sources.

But why are these alarmists so committed to condemning man and man alone for global climate change while continuing to ignore the chief culprit in temperature changes throughout the solar system? Perhaps by ignoring the fact that in the past decade planets like Mars have also experienced rising temperatures they can convince us this farce is a reality.
