What this article does point out is that there are influences, many probably, which effect the temperature on earth which are way beyond man's control. Whether that be increasing the temperature or decreasing the temperature.

The use of fossil fuels may have absolutely no significance at all to global temperatures however the use of expensive substitutes for no reason could keep millions in poverty or at lease a lower standard of living for no good reason at all. Climate change has taken on a religious status which punishes anyone who disagrees with it and shuts out reasonable debate. Doesn't it make sense that if wind and solar where so inexpensive that the market place would have demanded it's use. It is only because of government subsidies and coercion that it is used to any degree today. Someday in the future people will laugh at the useless measures that caused such waste which could have been directed in much more productive ways.

Yes, there is climate change, what a revelation! The world may get warmer or it may get cooler but how man can have any effect on that is very debatable. Personally I think it would be much easier to adapt to climate warming than climate cooling. But whatever, to think that man can have a worth while effect on this either way is a real big assumption in my humble opinion.
