Sorry, I don't read Rush Limbaugh.
2008 and early 2009 saw huge drops in solar activity. I do not know what the overall count is for this year, but it certainly would be a huge factor for this years climate if its still at the extreme low.

I've never stated that human activity is above the volcanoes or the sun or the ocean because that is not the case. But using this as an excuse to say that somehow we are not part of the problem is downright selfish IMHO. Can you pump millions of tons of who-knows-what into the atmosphere and expect things to be fine and dandy?
I believe it has more to do with the public not being willing to change lifestyles than the government somehow forcing us to buy or invest in "trivial" technology. And I'll admit that I'm just as much part of this than anyone else...
