"No sun-link" study debunked (again)

In "The truth is, we can't ignore the sun" (Daily Telegraph, 15/7/07), David Whitehouse argues that the no sun-link article lauded by the BBC recently is deeply flawed. Here's an excerpt:

The report argues that while the sun had a significant effect on climate during most of the 20th century, its influence is currently dwarfed by human effects. It says that all known solar influences since about 1990 are downward and because global temperature has increased since then, the sun is not responsible.
No. The research could prove the contrary. Using the global temperature data endorsed by the Inter-national Panel on Climate Change, one can reach a completely different conclusion.
Recently the United States' National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration said that 2006 was statistically indistinguishable from previous years.
Looking at annual global temperatures, it is apparent that the last decade shows no warming trend and recent successive annual global temperatures are well within each year's measurement errors. Statistically the world's temperature is flat.
The world certainly warmed between 1975 and 1998, but in the past 10 years it has not been increasing at the rate it did. No scientist could honestly look at global temperatures over the past decade and see a rising curve.
It is undisputed that the sun of the later part of the 20th century was behaving differently from that of the beginning. Its sunspot cycle is stronger and shorter and, technically speaking, its magnetic field leakage is weaker and its cosmic ray shielding effect stronger.
So we see that when the sun's activity was rising, the world warmed. When it peaked in activity in the late 1980s, within a few years global warming stalled. A coincid-ence, certainly: a connection, possibly.
My own view on the theory that greenhouse gases are driving climate change is that it is a good working hypothesis - but, because I have studied the sun, I am not completely convinced.
The sun is by far the single most powerful driving force on our climate, and the fact is we do not understand how it affects us as much as some think we do.

Svensmark shows the "close correspondence between global low-cloud amount and cosmic-ray counts over the period 1984-2004."

The monterey bay aquarium announced that its largest ocean sunfish, a visitor favorite because of its massive size and unusual presence, the aquarium restaurant houston texas was euth zed this morning after a period.

Tonight I wanted to talk a little bit about arrogance in blogging. What you need to know about arrogance is that it is unhealthy and that it does more harm hardcore asian fucking than good at the end of an argument, no matter who’s right. Instead of going through the scientific and psychological process of arrogance, I will tell you two stories. One is from someone I
hot beautiful asian tits know and one comes directly from the blogosphere.

He lived alone. He had a few friends among his colleagues but I doubt that he knew any of them very well. To this day I sit back in my chair and wonder if he was truly happy. Because the issue in this case isn’t necessarily whether one is right or wrong
asian teens fucked hard but rather if one is living life in a healthy manner. Arrogant people don’t necessarily need to enjoy arguments but they do try to fill the void in their lives by feeding off asian babe fucked of them.

I certainly hope the sun is not responsible for Earthly troubles - would hate to see a decline in children's art work that didn't show the sun smiling above a distorted set of houses and people, and then some loonybin might want to start cursing it. I really think we are at the root of our own difficulties, to the point where it is not beyond reasonable expectation, that we find a method of erasing ourselves. Oh well, what's another hundred million years more or less to get a better species begun.
