Don't make me use my bare hands on you.

Have you ever gotten a sunburn when you were out active and sweating in the middle of the night? |

Thats what the study was really about?, thats ridiculous, doesnt prove anything either way, too many missed unknown variables |

Actually .... yes .... I was working near a magnesia electric arc furnace (operates at about 3500 degrees celsius) and copped a dose of UV when the molten refractory was pored into a torpedo laddle. |

Depends on how much data they looked at i.e. how many incidences and over what time period. The greater those numbers are the greater the level of statistical significance. If a study like that can show a correlation, or in this case none/a weak one, at least then that invites a follow-up analysis to try and explain the findings using other variables. At least their work is published, peer-reviewed, and available for publicly written scrutiny from other scientists. If, as you say, it is ridiculous, then someone will have a fun time writing a published critique. |

It's got nothing to do with it The title was made up by someone at the BBC, not the researchers and is rather misleading. The study was about how solar winds affect cloud cover, all it shows is that direct radiation might have nothing to do with the formation of clouds. This study was never ever going to tell us anything about indirect effects or the total net effect on the earth. To say this study proves the sun has no effect on climate change is a blatant lie |

However the physics paper was not and is based on a refereed scientific study and paper (you did read it ?) , you are oversimplifying , of cause the sun effects climate (it energises the planet) , it is the forcing effects of small variations in solar output that has been shown to be negligible in driving the observed global climatic changes we are seeing and experiencing now that both are talking about. |
