New CERES Study Throws Cold Water On "Global Boiling:" Warming Findings Could Be Explained by Solar Activity and Measurement Errors

   One common argument among apocalyps skeptics is that estimates like those of IPCC underestimate the influence of the, y'know, Sun...

   Another common argument is that too many temperature measuring stations are located in cities, ergo are returning high readings because cities are heat islands. (Also, not mentioned here: many such stations used to be rural, but have, over time, become urban.)

   A major point: regardless of the ultimate fate of these alternate explanations: "The Science"(tm) is not settled. The establishment is pretending there is less certainty in play than there actually is.
