Sunrise

BBC News has published an article in which scientists BBC News | Sci/Tech | attribute global warming to an increase in the energy output of our sun.

Climate changes such as global warming may be due to changes in the sun rather than to the release of greenhouse gases on Earth.

Climatologists and astronomers speaking at the American Association for the Advancement of Science meeting in Philadelphia say the present warming may be unusual - but a mini ice age could soon follow.

The sun provides all the energy that drives our climate, but it is not the constant star it might seem.

It makes for some interesting reading.
