@Janus1:
And there you have it folks, you heard it here first! The sun causes global warming and cooling phases!!!
see this is another example of jumping to conclusions. it did not say in the excerpt anything about global warming, it simply referred to a particular weather pattern. you take that, and apply it broadly to global warming. thats not a valid connection. youve skipped some steps.

you left out some premises there
Re-read that last sentance dear. Notably the section stating that climate-change EXPERTS believe that the Sun is responsible. Thus, I came to the logical conclusion anyone who hasn’t taken 12 years of study into Geothermic, Exothermic, Solar Patterns, and Climatology would take (aka we poor laymen) that they are saying the it is the Sun that causes the Arctic Oscillation (AO) which in turn effects how cold and how warm the weather is in the entire northern hemisphere…well, the top half anyway, from Cleveland to teh North Pole, from Russia to America and Europe.
And that makes sense! After all, if the entire world were covered with reflective clouds, we would have next no no heat at all. Which infers that a majority of our heat comes from radiation from the sun. That same radiation that is causing Arctic Oscillation. And if the AO is holding back cold winds because they’re moving faster because there’s more radiation comming from the sun from normal, then of course we’d feel a moderate climate change in the Midwest. Likewise, we could expect the glaciers to melt, since we have more heat with less arctic wind!
It also explains how ice ages would occur naturally. The sun isn’t as active, produces less radiation, the winds slow in the AO, and cold winds escape southward freezing the landscape.
Did I connect the dots enough? I could probably expound on this further, but hopefully that’s enough for you to follow the trail of breadcrumbs I’m following to reach my conclusions.
