Oops, never mind; I forgot the debate was already over.

No, just kidding. Here’s another reason to be skeptical about global warming, from FOX News (who else?):

Sunspot activity has not resumed after hitting an 11-year low in March last year, raising fears that - far from warming - the globe is about to return to an Ice Age.

Astronaut and geophysicist Phil Chapman, the first Australian to become an astronaut with NASA, said pictures from the U.S. Solar and Heliospheric Observatory showed no spots on the sun.

He said the world cooled quickly between January last year and January this year, by about 0.7C.

“This is the fastest temperature change in the instrumental record, and it puts us back to where we were in 1930,” Dr. Chapman writes in The Australian today.

“If the temperature does not soon recover, we will have to conclude that global warming is over.”

This silly “geophysicist,” Dr. Phil Chapman: he thinks the sun controls the temperature of the Earth. What a fool!

Everyone knows that New York City will be underwater and polar bears will be extinct by 2012 — all thanks to David Beckham (and George Bush, because everything is at least partially his fault).

I mean, seriously, what do spots on the sun have to do with the temperature of the Earth? This guy probably still thinks our planet is flat!
