Fun with Red State.

It's not my normal beat, but you always find great stuff over there (see my Rumsfeld/Bolton '08 post).

In this episode, wingnut blames global warming on sunspots. A very impressive looking chart showing increasing sunspot activity is accompanied by this caption.

I am not a climatologist just but [sic] I do know how to read a graph. Which do you think is the big influence in [sic] global warming ?

Sounds compelling, doesn't it? It's the sun's fault! One small problem: actual scientists and various other people without their heads up their ass have declared the sunspot/global warming theory bogus.

The sun's energy output has barely varied over the past 1,000 years, raising chances that global warming has human rather than celestial causes, a study shows.

Red State -- home of non-climatologists who can read a graph but can't google!
