Myth 2 - Increasing earth temperature caused by solar activity

[Lucifer Box]

Now that would have been some spectacular global warming.

Nah, the effect of a 4x4 on the King's Road would far outweigh that.

[Churchill]

Who gives a tulip?

There is a reason why God invented engines with more than four cylinders!

[sasguru]

sasguru I looked at a sunpsot curve. This isn't part of a website arguiing about climate change, just a set of measurements of sunspots.

There has been increasing sunspot activity observed since the beginning of the century.

I suggest you look at the astronomers measurements and not rely on arguments justifying one way or another.

Just looked at the Wikipedia link you posted. It flat contradicts the increasing sunspot activity you claim from the start of the century:

"...only the 11 and 22 year cycles are clear in the observations..."

Look at this (from your link)

You be surprised how many people believe the planet is closer to the sun during the summer months. Probably the same who have MP after their names.

Just about all Australians and New Zealanders believe this I suppose (it's closest in early January).

He's obviously trying to keep to the same gene pool he was born into. Nice to see some people know their place.

At least he is staying nominally within his species sasguru. The pitfalls of not doing so hardly need to be explained to you and your parents.
You have more to worry about than those extra digits on each hand you know, as your powers of comprehension admirably display.

Actually it's closest in winter. Was about 8pm on Jan 3rd this year.

Whose winter?

I recently came across two people who believed that when the moon is new there is less gravity around.

Must admit I think there was a time in my youth (about 2.8 seconds) I thought if the planet stopped rotating we'd all float away.
