If it is in fact real, then why was 2007 the coolest year on record in the past 100 years? The sun makes up 99.9% of the mass in the solar system. .05% is Jupiter and the other .05% is the rest of the solar system. Its awfully big-headed of us to think that we (humans) can change the weather! I still think global warming is complete bullshit!
