"A new NASA study has confirmed that it's greenhouse gases - not changes in solar activity - that are the main cause of global warming. The study involves an updated calculation of the difference between the amount of solar energy absorbed by Earth's surface and the amount returned to space as heat - and show that, despite unusually low solar activity between 2005 and 2010, the planet continued to absorb more energy than it returned to space."

but it's worth noting because this provides unequivocal evidence that the sun is not the dominant driver of global warming," says James Hansen, director of NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.

The government wants to tax you for your carbon footprint.
If they can influence the FDA to make Ritalin okay for your kids for a profit motive I would believe they can influence NASA to do research saying that we need to tax the # out of people because they are causing global warming.
I do not claim to know the truth about global warming. I just want to point out that there is a potential profit motive here.
