There's a lot of hype bout, oh my golly gosh, we're killing the planet! Well,guess what, we're not! Now i'm all for reducing energy and carbon emmissions, its ridiculous not to but people are being blatantly lied to and a panic is being created and thats not right.

Ok,so its slightly warmer now than say 20 years ago but, in recent time we have had:a mini ice age in the seventeenth century when the Thames froze so solidly that fairs could regularly be held on the ice; a Medieval Warm Period, even balmier than today; and sunnier still was the so-called Holocene Maximum, which was the warmest period in the last 10,000 years.

In the last 10,000 years, the warmest periods have happened well before humans started to produce large amounts of carbon dioxide.

A detailed look at recent climate change reveals that the temperature rose prior to 1940 but unexpectedly dropped in the post-war economic boom, when carbon dioxide emissions rose dramatically – so when we started using carbon emitting products, the CO2 actually dropped.

The rise in carbon dioxide lags behind the temperature rise by 800 years and therefore can't be the cause of it

If greenhouse warming were happening, then scientists predict that the troposphere (the layer of the earth's atmosphere roughly 10-15km above us) should heat up faster than the surface of the planet, but data collected from satellites and weather balloons doesn't seem to support this.

carbon dioxide is produced in far larger quantities by many natural means: human emissions are miniscule in comparison. Volcanic emissions and carbon dioxide from animals, bacteria, decaying vegetation and the ocean outweigh our own production several times over.

Others would argue that carbon dioxide isn't the only greenhouse gas and that human emissions could tip up a finely balanced system. New evidence shows that that as the radiation coming from the sun varies (and sun-spot activity is one way of monitoring this) the earth seems to heat up or cool down. Solar activity very precisely matches the plot of temperature change over the last 100 years. It correlates well with the anomalous post-war temperature dip, when global carbon dioxide levels were rising.

So how does the sun affect the earth's temperature? The process scientists suggest is that as earth moves through space, the atmosphere is constantly bombarded by ever-present cosmic rays. As these particles hit water vapour evaporating from the oceans, clouds form in the atmosphere. Clouds shield Earth from some of the sun's radiation a. When solar activity is high, there is an increase in solar wind and this has the effect of reducing the amount of cosmic radiation which reaches Earth.

When less cosmic radiation reaches Earth, fewer clouds form and the full effects of the sun's radiation heats the planet and have a cooling effect.

Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark has concluded that the Earth is experiencing less cloud cover because cosmic rays are not entering the atmosphere as frequently as normal. Consequently, Svensmark says that cosmic rays, not human-made carbon dioxide emissions, are largely responsible for global warming.

Cosmic rays are a type of radiation that consist of highly energetic particles; specifically, they are composed mostly of protons, along with moderate amounts of alpha particles (helium nuclei), electrons, gamma rays (high-energy electromagnetic radiation), neutrinos (neutral elementary particles), and even smaller amounts of heavier atomic nuclei. While traveling through outer space some of them contact the Earth’s atmosphere. Cosmic rays can originate from many different sources, but the ones that come from the Sun affects the Earth the most. They have energies of about 100 exa-electron volts (EeV, where exa- stands for quintillion—that is, 1 followed by 18 zeros).

Because cosmic rays are not very dense they are able to travel easily through the near-emptiness of space. However, once they reach the dense atmosphere of the Earth, the particles that make up cosmic rays quickly interact with gaseous particles that make up the atmosphere. The interaction creates ions (electrically charged particles), which attracts water molecules. Over time, water molecules group together and, eventually, condense into droplets. Clouds are formed from this condensation process.

According to Svensmark, director of Sun-Climate Research at the Danish National Space Center in Copenhagen, the amount of cloud formation above the Earth is directly in response to the magnetic activity of the Sun. When solar magnetic activity is high, fewer cosmic rays are produced and fewer cosmic rays reach the Earth’s atmosphere, which produces fewer clouds and higher temperatures. (Conversely, during low periods of solar magnetic activity, more cosmic rays reach the Earth, which causes more clouds and lower temperatures.)

Svensmark remarks, “Evidence from ice cores show this [lower solar activity, high cosmic rays, and lower temperatures] happening long into the past. We have the highest solar activity we have had in at least 1,000 years.”

Svensmark’s theory counters the highly publicized report published last week from 2,500 scientists at the United Nations (UN) International Panel on Climate Change. He states that the UN report overlooks the affect of cosmic rays on global warming, which could mean humans are adversely affecting the Earth’s climate to a lesser degree than natural processes—specifically, naturally produced cosmic rays.

The five-year research project by Svensmark and collaborators is to be published later in 2007 as a journal article in the Proceedings of the Royal Society Journal A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences and as a March 2007 book called “The Chilling Stars: A New Theory of Climate Change”. The book, co-authored by Nigel Calder, simulated the atmosphere of the Earth by placing atmospheric gases into a large reaction chamber with ultraviolet light. The experiment found that microscopic droplets formed in the chamber. Based on such experimentation, Svensmark says that cosmic rays create clouds that reflect solar energy back into space, which cools the Earth. When the Sun is more active, it protects the Earth from many cosmic rays, which causes fewer clouds, and the Earth warms due to more solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface.

Svensmark’s conclusions are not without controversy. Other scientists say that the relationship between cosmic rays and clouds is not as important as claimed by Svensmark. However, still other scientists are looking into Svensmark’s research as a genuine conclusion for global warming. For example, U.S. physicist S. Frederick Singer and U.S. economist Dennis T. Avery published in December 2006 the book “Unstoppable Global Warming Every 1500 Years”,
