Barone: Global Cooling?

Two days ago, on Saturday, we wrote about today's so-called "solar lull" during which there are few-to-no sunspots, citing a short BBC News article. Today we see the same discussion at greater length from Michael Barone, writing for the Washington Examiner.

Barone makes the point we made, that the sun's impact on the climate is overwhelmingly greater than anything done by man. I'd add that it's much greater than anything of which man is capable, short of a global nuclear war. I'd rather not discover how that doomsday scenario would play out, both climatewise and otherwise.
