and with us tonight on tonight's panel dr amanda stout senior scientist of climate energy program at he national wildlife federation dr joseph roma and dr dan lash up in new york so let's and dr. dr romer is also the author of a new book language intelligence lessons on persuasion from jesus shakespeare lincoln and lady gaga ok great i'm looking forward to ok so let's get back to the language here in in fact dr dr rome the. one of the dinner talking points. is that the sun's activity correlates more closely to global temperatures than c o two levels do we brought this up with the growth of the ocean a little earlier is that the only variable well this particular myth has been you know debugged by countless studies the suns we've been warming you know a tremendous amount over the past century but the intensity of of sunlight sun solar radiation has not increased substantially it goes up and down there's eleven year cycle but you know you know as dan said i don't think there's any major climate scientist in the world who who thinks that the sun is a major contributor to the change in th
