The sun is warmer now than for the past 11,400 years

That is the title of a report in todays Sunday Telegraph, it can be found here

Now it's not the most interesting nor is it the simplest report to read, (I read it in the actual paper which somehow is always easier than reading on line).

But if you do manage to struggle through it the conclusions that come leaping forward are:-

someone is lying to us!

Below is the final page of this long winded but perhaps, factual report on so called global warming.

Finally, the UN's predictions are founded not only on an exaggerated forcing-to-temperature conversion factor justified neither by observation nor by physical law, but also on an excessive rate of increase in airborne carbon dioxide. The true rate is 0.38 per cent year on year since records began in 1958. The models assume 1 per cent per annum, more than two and a half times too high. In 2001, the UN used these and other adjustments to predict a 21st-century temperature increase of 1.5 to 6C. Stern suggests up to 10C.
Dick Lindzen emailed me last week to say that constant repetition of wrong numbers doesn't make them right. Removing the UN's solecisms, and using reasonable data and assumptions, a simple global model shows that temperature will rise by just 0.1 to 1.4C in the coming century, with a best estimate of 0.6C, well within the medieval temperature range and only a fifth of the UN's new, central projection.
Why haven't air or sea temperatures turned out as the UN's models predicted? Because the science is bad, the "consensus" is wrong, and Herr Professor Ludwig Boltzmann, FRS, was as right about energy-to-temperature as he was about atoms.


Slinks you could perhaps read it just before you go to bed, it might just solve your problem of not being able to sleep.
