Today the SCQ published what can only be described as a necessary appendum to the IPCC reports. The title above is but one of many papers sited, and the others are presented below (and below the fold). Of course, like any good scientist, you'll have to dig deeper to make sense of them, but you can get the review here (OTHER POSSIBLE CAUSES OF GLOBAL WARMING: A LITERATURE REVIEW)

Ah isn't science great? Perhaps worthy of a nobel? Anyway, here is the link again.
