That's pretty good.  :-)

Actually, the sun is a variable star but Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) 
only varies by about 2%.  Warmers claim (correctly) that such a small 
variation in TSI is insufficient to have produced the warming observed 
over the duration of the instrumental records.  Skeptics agree except 
that skeptics allow that the sun may have other means of influencing the 
earth's temperature beyond direct irradiance.

Dr. Henrik Svensmark, director of the Center for Sun-Climate Research at 
the Danish Space Research Institute, along with Nigel Calder have 
hypothesized that the sun can indeed have a large influence on the 
earth's climate via the interaction of the solar wind and galactic 
cosmic rays.  This interaction is seen to affect climate by its effect 
on the production of clouds.  There is presently a significant 
experiment underway at CERN (called CLOUD) to test this hypothesis. 
Results are expected by the end of summer.
