Yes, it's true! Over the past few decades of global warming, the sun and the earth's temperature have been going in opposite directions. The sun has been cooling slightly.

This has led scientists to conclude that the sun is not responsible for the recent rise in global temperature.

One of the common myths about global warming is that the sun is causing the increased warming. But don't be fooled!

The myth cherry-picks the data. It uses past periods when the sun and climate moved together, and it ignores the last few decades where they are going in opposite directions.

Global warming is not rising because of the sun, but because of the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).

Is the sun cooling as the climate is warming?

What does global warming tell us about the earth?

It tells us the climate is not a static condition, but has cycles of warming and cooling, drought and excess precipitation.


Is there any ways that the world can stop global warming?

No there is not. Climate change/global warming or cooling is a natural phenomena. We may be able to reduce the rate of change by sensible use of energy.


What factors influence the earth climate?

Factors that influence Earth's climate include the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, the Earth's distance from the sun, solar energy output, ocean currents, land masses, and volcanic activity. Changes in any of these factors can impact the Earth's climate and contribute to changes such as global warming or cooling.


How would glaciers be affected by changes in climate such as global warming and global cooling?

In global warming, the glaciers would melt, then they would flow into the ocean, then they could affect ocean currents, changing the climate, in some areas. And with global cooling, there would be more glaciers, depleting the ocean waters.


What does change of climate cause?

Either Global Warming or Global Cooling {Cooling caused by either one Asteroid or one Volcano}, depending upon the Circumstances: We Had Best be prepared Either Way.

What is a word or phrase that has the same meaning as global warming?

The answer you are looking for is climate change.However, the question is incorrect. Global warming is not the same as climate change. Global warming is the warming of the earth. Climate change is the result of this warming.


Is the earth the only planet in your system experiencing global warming or climate change?

All planets experience climate change (warmer and cooler) due to fluctuations in sun output, changes in the planets distance to the sun and rate/tilt of rotation. global warming typically refers to human induced global warming and therefore only earth is influenced.


How does forest vegetation affect the climate?

Forest vegetation has a cooling effect on the climate. This is because all growing plants and trees remove carbon dioxide, the greenhouse gas causing global warming, from the atmosphere.


What does a tornado do to contribute to global warming?

Tornadoes do not directly contribute to global warming. However, the severe weather patterns that can result from climate change, which is linked to global warming, may increase the frequency and intensity of tornadoes.


Is global warming or the sun's cycle or the milankovitch theory or the asteroid impact considered an effect on climate change?

Scientists conclude that the main factor in climate change is the present global warming from the burning of fossil fuels(coal, oil and natural gas) and deforestation (cutting down trees which previously removed carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere).
