There are always disagreements among "experts". Nobody denies that solar output has an influence on climate, but it is a minor influence. Look above, (in the Barmaid Dialogue) and you will find a reference that quantifies that influence.

Re the "economic devastation"; the only people to be devastated are those parts of the oil industry who are too inflexible to realise that they are in the business of supplying energy, not just in the business of sucking (oil).

The economy is probably going to be devastated anyway, from the sub-prime unwise lending propensity of banks. Untreated climate change will also devastate the economy. Have you looked up the Pascal's Wager link?

Mike, I am getting bored repeating myself. The key thing not scientific detail, but the fact that that you are convinced that global warming is a conspiracy whereby radical Greens and Reds have somehow convinced the scientific and political community of the world of a delusionary idea in order to subvert the free market economy.

I do not see that there is anything I can do to dissuade you of that view, nor do I feel indeed that it is my responsibility to try to do so.
