HN, HN, HN.

This is a climate change denialist blog.

I am not a scientist and cannot effectively assess Zharkova's claims directly, but I can't help but notice the sidebar (pasted below). About 4 out of every 5 links are basically FUD:

I’m curious why people are downvoting because this appears to be a correct assessment.

The paper here is probably legit (perhaps correct, perhaps not) but it’s claiming a 2.5 degree change by the year 2600, and not claiming to contradict climate change. In fact it kind of hints that a large portion of its trend analysis may be driven by human activity

> Although, it is not clear yet if this trend in the terrestrial temperature and solar irradiance is caused directly by the increased solar activity itself or by some other factors of the solar-terrestrial interaction in the whole solar system and human activities.

Feels a little too heavy on the doubt propagation for my tastes. The blog however claims this is direct evidence that man made climate change is wrong.
