Where is the "I don't want to live on this planet anymore?" thread when you need it. The sun is not causing climate change. Of course if there was no sun there would be no life on earth as the climate would be I hospitable. But there is no significant change in the sun that is causing the warming we have seen over the past few decades. It is not the sun driving the change. But I think people are smart enough to know that and are simply trying to muddy the waters so that Joe Q Public is confused and doesn't know what to believe.
Personally, I think the human species is too stupid, too greedy, too much still like a monkey, to act in the best interest of our children and grandchildren. When we are fighting a near consensus on climate change, the deniers are coming back with "I think it is the sun!" *facepalm* "No it is not the sun" "Oh so smarty pants over here thinks the sun plays no role in our climate. Stupid environmentalist. Ha Ha!" We can't win against this level of obfuscation. Which is why I gave up years ago. I still bike to work, still am vegetarian for environmental reasons, pay a premium for Bullfrog power... But I do it not because I have any belief that we can win this fight but because I would feel like an ass if I were not doing those things.
