What about these guys that argue that it may not be solar irradiance, but instead is a side-effect of the increase in sun spots and solar flares.

This was posted on my blog:

    On global warming - "appeal to the people" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Argumentum_ad_populum) is a logical fallacy. Just because a majority of people have been duped, doesn't make it true.

    There was global cooling between 1940 and 1980 and that cooling doesn't track CO2 levels, it tracks sun spot and sun radiation activity. Scientists have taken the last 1000 years of CO2 levels, earth temperatures, and sun activity and have found that sun activity tracks closely to earth's temperature, not CO2. This could explain why Mars, Pluto, and other planets are also warming along with earth right now. This also matches the fact that the sun is at a 1000-year high in sun spot activity right now.

    See http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=44995620224784421 ... for a documentary that also covers these topics.

I have to find any other arguments about this topic and would like to be able to help these guys understand that global warming IS happening + that humans are affecting this rate of change.
