Revkin "mentioned the fragility of basing a movement on climate change--especially during a period of very cool weather"

Solar Sun Spots, Global Warming and the Changing Reason for Environmentalism

[davidsteinman] I interviewed Andrew Revkin this week on my radio show about solar sun spots and the sun's apparent new phase of quiescence....though these sun spots are occurring, Andrew Revkin says there is no correlation between them and climate change; they don't predict larger overall climate trends occuring over hundreds of years.

However, nonetheless, some experts believe they may affect the weather for sixty years, less or more. [Wait a minute: if a cool 60-year period is just "weather", why is a warm 30-year period "climate"] The earth may get cool for a while. Yet, the lull in solar activity simply is a short-term weather trend, argues the global warming side.

But also in his blog, he said it would be up to science to determine the outcome. He also mentioned the fragility of basing a movement on climate change--especially during a period of very cool weather. I have a difficult time putting 100 percent confidence in global warming myself, so I wouldn't be surprised if others do...he also talked about having other reasons to enact public policy when it comes to our nation beyond simply basing it on the science of global warming.
