You don't know him? You'd love him. He has all the same theories as you. And he is a scientist in North Queensland too.

What is Burbage doing his PhD in?

I don't necessarily love the people I agree with. Common ground on one subject does not necessarily lead to common ground on others.

Done and dusted old thing.

And to answer your question, it was in biology, you know, the study of things that make carbon dioxide.

what was the PhD in?

See above.

It is your theory. You said it.

I do disagree with it. While solar variations do affect climate, they are not the only factor.

oh you changed your answer. thanks

what particular area?

I didn't say they were the only factor.

oh look! Obama's gone nuclear -

I thought it best to answer your question, even though it wasn't directed at me. I saw your next post after I'd done this.

Developmental neurobiology.

Not botany then?

Chemistry, plant science and zoology were my degree subjects.

"You can also argue that there is a correlation between solar energy and global warming, which is the explanation for all previous global warmings."

"And yet changes in solar irradiation have caused most, if not all, previous climate changes."

That's a misquote. Perhaps you should read the sticky on quoting.

However, in the interests of bonhomie:
You can also argue that there is a correlation between solar energy and global warming, which is the explanation for all previous global warmings.

Where does this say anthing about climate change? It specifically talks about global warming. Is there a method of warming up the earth that doesn't involve the sun?
