Earth has been getting warmer -- but how much of that heat is
due to greenhouse gas emissions and how much is due to natural
causes? A leaked report by a United Nations’ group dedicated to
climate studies says that heat from the sun may play a larger
role than previously thought. “[Results] do suggest the
possibility of a much larger impact of solar variations on the
stratosphere than previously thought, and some studies have
suggested that this may lead to significant regional impacts on
climate,” reads a draft copy of a major, upcoming report from
the U.N.’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). The
man who leaked the report, StopGreenSuicide blogger Alec Rawls,
told FoxNews.com that the U.N.’s statements on solar activity
were his main motivation for leaking the document.
