Fact or Fiction?

Welcome to the first installment of "Fact or Fiction" on GreenMachine2050. This is an opportunity to test your knowledge about some of the arguments used by sceptics of the science of climate change. A quick disclaimer - I am not, nor ever have been, a scientist. I only play one on TV.

Alright, let's get to the big game. This is exciting, isn't it?

Fact or fiction, is the sun causing global warming?

And the answer is . . . fiction. In the last 35 years of global warming, the sun has shown a slight cooling trend. Sun and climate have been going in opposite directions.

For those of you who'd like to geek out a bit more you can spend the rest of your day cruising this website.

Thanks for playing and look forward to seeing you again next week.
