What happened to angelo? I hope he's okay. He might be injured after trying to run away after putting his foot in his mouth.

Chicken Little: " The sky is falling, the sky is falling! "
It's extremely unwise to argue with cult members who are guided purely by blind faith regardless of facts!

Only a fool would dismiss the sun's role on what happens on the tiny rock Earth orbiting it's parent star!

The scientific question is whether or not the sun's variable output is the primary factor in our current observed climate change, i.e. global warming. Not whether the sun has an impact on the Earth. It is not only a fool that might misconstrue what I wrote, but also an honest person with good intentions but ignorant, or a troll deliberately trolling. I draw no conclusion on your person, nor do I have to. Some guy made a report and the question is, is it peer-reviewed? A lot of individual experts say a lot of things, and I have to say this is especially true in physics. Look at the 9/11 conspiracy theorists and there was a physicist supporting bizarre conspiracy theories and he wrote reports, too. But after the consensus was formed, a peer-reviewed paper showed why he was wrong.
I will also note that you've successfully changed the subject from your earlier errors on the last page. Perhaps you will admit how wrong you were?
The author of this (https://wattsupwiththat.com/2019/05/06/climate-change-misconceived/), Iain Aitken, an Australian Climate Scientist,
Is he?
Are you able to advise what qualifications he has, or point me to any papers in climatology or a related discipline that he has co-authored?
Because I didn't find a single one in a quick search of Google Scholar, and I can't find any details of his scientific qualifications via a normal search on Google (there are rather a lot of people called Iain Aitken who appear in a Google search, so it's apparently an unfortunately common name).
The only qualification I can find that is directly attributed to him is at the top of the article you linked to - but neither 'author' nor 'guest blogger' suggests any actual expertise in climatology.
Why should we take his word, over that of 'bloke in the pub', much less over the claims made by large numbers of actual climatologists, with published works that have undergone peer review, and not just selection by a publisher who thinks it has commercial potential?
It seems that if he is a climate scientist, he's not been a particularly solid contributor to the field; So why should we take his word for anything?
He used to just be called "Australian author and climate analyst." I guess the Internet gave him a promotion.
So you are not going to admit you put your foot in your mouth.

Errors, what errors would that be?
UK companies failing to tackle climate change would be delisted from the London Stock Exchange under radical plans for greening the economy being drawn up by Labour. John McDonnell, the shadow chancellor, said he would consider changing the law if necessary to force UK-listed firms to take adequate steps to fight the “climate emergency” facing the planet. Asked whether he would delist firms without climate change plans that are already quoted on the stock exchange, McDonnell replied: “Yes”. “It’s not about threatening or penalising, it’s saying here’s the steps we need to take to save the planet, it’s as simple as that,” he said.

It is obvious to anyone that CO2 is the sole trigger of GW/CC/CD according to some so called climate scientists and everything else like the sun's role is papered over by the alarmists because that wouldn't fit the story of human induced GW/CC/CD.
One of the participants, Greg Kopp of the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics at the University of Colorado, pointed out that while the variations in luminosity over the 11-year solar cycle amount to only a tenth of a percent of the sun's total output, such a small fraction is still important. "Even typical short term variations of 0.1% in incident irradiance exceed all other energy sources (such as natural radioactivity in Earth's core) combined," he says.
Of particular importance is the sun's extreme ultraviolet (EUV) radiation, which peaks during the years around solar maximum. Within the relatively narrow band of EUV wavelengths, the sun’s output varies not by a minuscule 0.1%, but by whopping factors of 10 or more. This can strongly affect the chemistry and thermal structure of the upper atmosphere.

The last paragraph says it all. In other words, only by a return to the cave will we know if the sun has any effect on GW/CC/CD!

article said:The last time carbon dioxide (CO2) levels hit such a high was around 3 million years ago, when the average temperature in the Arctic as 15 degrees Celcius (60F). At that point, the north was covered by trees, not ice, and mean sea levels were believed to be at least 25 meters (82 feet) higher.
Bill Nye driven to F-bomb rant by climate change. “By the end of this century, if emissions keep rising, the average temperature on Earth could go up another four to eight degrees,” Nye says, losing his patience. “What I’m saying is the planet is on fucking fire,” he says while taking a torch to a globe. “There are a lot of things we could do to put it out. Are any of them free? No, of course not. Nothing’s free, you idiots. Grow the fuck up. You’re not children any more. I didn’t mind explaining photosynthesis to you when you were 12. But you’re adults now, and this is an actual crisis, got it? Safety glasses off, motherfuckers.”
Good grief, Bill Nye goes all woke and stuff;
