Sigh. As with many things, we don't really know what is and isn't caused by "climate change." Why for instance does CA now have so many fires but TX has fewer? Could it be climate change? Sure. Could it be the major differences CA enacted around forest management that TX didn't? Sure. But all you ever hear about is climate change.
There's many studies that show that the number of extreme weather events went up significantly in the past decades around the globe. This is way more global and longer running that some policy in some US state.
"During the last few decades, the solar activity is not increasing. It has stabilized at a high level, but the Earth's climate still shows a tendency toward increasing temperatures," Usoskin explained.
He suspects even if there were a link between the Sun's activity and global climate, other factors must have dominated during the last few decades, including the increase of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
It's hysteria and it covers up other real issues.
