Three false statements in a row!
If your tax filing is this grossly inaccurate,
you could wind up in prison.

"There is no “climate change” crisis that can or should be addressed by the

The Earth is not warming.
It has, for a decade, been cooling.
Both of the two statements above are totally wrong.
Please see the facts below.
This is due in part from reduced solar activity in the form of
cyclical reductions in magnetic storms known as sunspots."
A third wrong statement!
Statement three is wrong because:
The problem with claims for a solar cause of
global warming is that solar output, sunspots,
and cosmic rays, show no large correlation with
global mean surface temperature. All three of
these show no long term trend large enough to
explain the observed warming, only an 11-year
cycle. What century long trends there are are
decreases, in the wrong direction to explain
the warming of the Earth.

To cause the current warming, an increase of about
3 Watts per square meter over the last century
is needed. The Sun has not made that increase
recently, period, end of story.

Statements 1 and 2 are wrong because:
That the surface of the Earth has warmed over the last several
decades is a fact supported by many independent sources . . .
