The Debate:

YES (Critics)	NO (Proponents)	YES (Critics)	NO (Proponents)
Solar activity more closely coincides with temperature changes than do greenhouse gas increases/ decreases.	If solar activity was the primary cause of the earth's warming, summers would be warmer by a greater amount than winters, because in the summer, the earth captures more of the sun's total energy input. But studies show that this is not occuring.	No argument.
