Of sunspots and so on…

From this post:

I make no prognostications, I have no set opinion, but I like the idea that the vaunted “scientific consensus” about anthropogenic global warming could be wrong… I don’t like consensuses on principle–I think it’s a good way to avoid the truth by getting together with a group of like-minded people and agreeing that what we want to be actually exists. Besides, humans have a natural tendency to enjoy end-of-the-world hysteria and to over-exaggerate their own impact on the world as a whole. IMHO.
