Quotes by Todd Akin	vs	What the Science Says
"The sun itself has variable output, which affects temperature cycles." 28 March 2011 (Source)		In the last 35 years of global warming, sun and climate have been going in opposite directions
"No one variable can be taken as the sole driver of climate and there exist cycles within cycles of meteorological variability. Scientists state that the planet has gone through many natural heating and cooling cycles over the last thousand years." 28 March 2011 (Source)		No known natural forcing fits the fingerprints of observed warming except anthropogenic greenhouse gases.
