Thanks for taking an out-of-context quote and bringing it further out-of-context. The fact that I do not support Al Gore's theories (I had the honor of being invited to see him present it at the White House and left unconvinced) doesn't make you less of an ass for not finding the source of the quote and asking it be put in perspective.

Within context, I brought up sunspots because I do believe there is a possible cause/effect relationship between them and the Earth's temperature. As far as I know there is nothing other than anecdotal evidence connecting them and no quantification of the relative importance of sunspots in global climatology.

I believe I'm relatively easy to find. You probably owed it to those who read this to seek me out before typing.

Comment by Siteowner: Mr. Fox posted this comment before I updated my post. I believe that I have represented his views correctly in the update. I do maintain that the article from the Bristol Press implies that no one knows if there is a connection between solar activity and weather.
