Sun and Cosmic Rays Drive Climate, Not CO2, Says Astrophysicist Sat Sep 20, 2025 09:00 | Hannes Sarv
It's not CO2 that drives the climate, says astrophysicist Dr Henrik Svensmark. Its the Sun and cosmic rays. But you won't hear about this because only one viewpoint is now allowed in the pseudo-science of climate.

Jump To Comment: 1 2 3 4 5the images or execution of one man- the US bogeyman will take down Bush
too. all this destruction and slaughter for the death of one man.
People are rising against the obscenity ot the Bush/Blair axis of evil.
and triumphalism is not on the cards for Bush. if Saddam goes down,
Bush goes down. Aznar and Berlusconi are already gone.
That leaves Bertie ahern's support for the illegal war.
it is against the interests of the Irish government to have a crucifixion.
especially in an election year.
Ahern just skimmed the rendition flights by claiming there 'may have been one'
FF/PD supported an illegal war.
FF/PD are co-operating in globalised politics to the reduction in quality of life
of the citizens of this country.
They really should just fuck off.
The US invasion was illegal imperialistic and has proven to be a military and humanitarian disaster as many many warned the US it would be.
However Saddam is guilty of such horrendous crimes that the only fate he deserves is a long drop at the end of a rope.
An Irish left winger I maybe but I will cheer his death as loudly as the any neo-con.
Dear Fran,
Just as a matter of clarification, and as a person who grew up thinking/and believing that the Left, universally, opposed capital punishment by States - and particularly by puppet States as the Iraqi regime right now....could you, as "a left-winger" explain to us what section of the Irish left, that you seem to think that you belong to, jumps up and down asking for people to be shot or lynched?
Did you say glee? Did you really write at the end of a rope? What a beautiful world you inhabit left-wing comrade!!
And to top it all you ask for other positions to be censored - you are something else!!
60 years ago would I have complained that the top Nazis met their end at the end of a rope? Not a bit.
The minute you start summarily executing people- and make no mistake that's what this is- you might as well start rounding people up.
Of course Saddam's a ruthless dictator, and his regime was cruel and disasterous for the people. No one can deny that. But when do we stop the cycle of violence? Executing one and executing a thousand is just a question of numbers.
Execution has been, and always will be, a tool of the ruling class.
Lenin executed as many of his enemies as any czar. Was it better because he was a lefty?
Lock Saddam away if you must do something. Will one more dead Sunni help the people of Iraq?
One death is a tragedy; a million is a statistic- Josef Stalin
