It's the Sun that makes it hot

Article Abstract:

Climate records of the most recent 100 years do not support the contention that human activities have produced global warming in the early 20th century, and models used to predict severe warming cannot simulate history accurately thusfar and so cannot be expected to predict the future. Changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration are predicted, with the observation that water management and agricultural adaptability will be important. Topics include lack of correlation of Greenland and Antarctica ice cores taken to find a positive relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperatures going back 250,000 years, the Milankovitch cycle, the June 2001 National Academy of Sciences 'Report on Global Climate Change,' and temperature measurement methods. Possible reasons for periodic warming are discussed.
