Then there is the strange behaviour of our Sun. Declining solar activity linked to recent warming The Sun may have caused as much warming as carbon dioxide over three years. Quirin Schiermeier An analysis of satellite data challenges the intuitive idea that decreasing solar activity cools Earth, and vice versa. In fact, solar forcing of Earth's surface climate seems to work the opposite way around — at least during the current Sun cycle. Joanna Haigh, an atmospheric physicist at Imperial College London, and her colleagues analysed daily measurements of the spectral composition of sunlight made between 2004 and 2007 by NASA's Solar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE) satellite. They found that the amount of visible light reaching Earth increased as the Sun's activity declined — warming the Earth's surface. Their unexpected findings are published today in Nature1. The study period covers the declining phase of the current solar cycle. Solar activity, which in the current cycle peaked around 2001, reached a pronounced minimum in late 2009 during which no sunspots were observed for an unusually long period. ... Contrary to expectations, the net amount of solar energy reaching Earth's troposphere — the lowest part of the atmosphere — seems to have been larger in 2007 than in 2004, despite the decline in solar activity over that period. ...
Here you are referencing work that supports the DECREASE of solar activity warming earth.
If this is the case, then why did the INCREASE of solar activity prior to that also warm earth during the 20th century?
Perhaps the increase in carbon in the atmosphere makes more sense as the primary driver of climate change?

So this is earth-based monitoring, which we know is skewed in the last 50+ years by urbanization.
Urbanization affects solar output?

It should be noted that 1998 was a very strong El Nino year. Using it as a starting point might be considered cherry picking.
Try using 1997, or 1999.
ElectricUniverse: To ensure that you aren't cherry picking dates why don't you take an average of the (average) temps from years around your start and finish points. That would ensure that your results are less skewed.
For 1898 do you know the temps for 5 years either way?
The same for 1998?
That way the strong EN mentioned won't be responsible and you want to present an accurate picture, right?
Or even, change the years of your first comparison from 1897-1997 or something else analogous?
Can't wait to see your findings.
Now that post is the perhaps the best summation of the situation we could hope to read. Thanks for your contribution to this thread. Knuckleheads abound and the comments earlier about Kashia's apparent emotional reaction are spot on IMHO.
The analysis of Cooks paper which I posted comes from his own data.
Obviously the point you are trying to promulgate is incorrect.
What patents? Source please.
The patents that specifically relate to oil and control of it.
I wasn't looking for your approval or permission but thanks for granting it.
As far as I am concerned you can cite whatever you wish to, in relation to what scientist claim supports your position.
When did I say that?
Based upon my background its not really relevant realistically. Your implying that the reason for global warming is Extraterrestrial.
huh? How you arrive at that conclusion?
And as much as you clearly feel that I am a pawn of Elite?
I kinda figured that part out already.
To be sincere and in so far as this discussion I think you and your compatriots are mistaken.
It's been a cold April. Globally.
Any thoughts?

IMHO you are the one who's being gullible.

Myself Laughing Out Loud in so far as your last commentary.
Could not give the Hind End of an Overweight Ratus as to your opinion on this topic.
Grow up
You mentioned patents that specifically relate to oil and control of it.

The Bush family who controls Shell, The Russian Aristocracy currently under the Control of Vladimir Putin. The Members of OPEC and pretty much anyone else who is knee deep investment wise.
Seriously the first electric cars were built in the mid-19th century.
