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 5 6 7Mayer Hillman (born London, 1931) is a Senior Fellow Emeritus since 1992 at the Policy Studies Institute. A qualified architect and town planner, he completed a doctoral thesis on transport, planning and environmental issues in 1970 at the University of Edinburgh.
He is a strong proponent of personal carbon trading (and specifically Personal Carbon Allowances, a concept he helped develop), and believes public policy should be more socially and environmentally conscious. He is author of the book 'How We Can Save the Planet', Penguin (2004).
Below is a link to an article by Mayer Hillman published in the London Independent 28 May, 2004.
Just to clarify- this important talk on climate change will be opened by Minister Gormley, who is pushing through a motorway; and then closed by Minister Ryan who is overseeing the development of a complex of gas refineries?
Let's hope no one mentions Tara or Bellanaboy.
worth mentioning might be the very large incinerator being forced on the residents of Ringsend.
Greens only got 6 out the total of 166 TDs, just a little short of a majority. FF didn't need them for a government majority. They won't achieve all they want but they'll hopefully achieve significant changes with 2 senior ministries. It's better than banging your head against the wall in opposition. There are inevitable compromises but such is the nature of democracy. Better in and affecting some change than not.
What change? Nothing has been achieved except the use of some mercs and a possible ban on a certain type of lightbulb. Oh yeah and 26 million for wave power out of taxpayers money while 450 billion worth of oil and gas is handed over to Shell and friends. Can we have our votes back?
The green party is just another collection of poliyicans trying a new line to fool people into thinking our system works. They support Bertie because they know they are F^cked when Cowen gets in. Stay away from liars and their free events. Carbon trading is also stupid. Another right wing solution. Consumerism is the problem. Does anyone know any positive benefit inyroduced by the greens to make ireland and the world a better place.
