New data shed light on sun's climate role. It’s not surprising that prominent members of the “me” generation who think the universe revolves around themselves also believe they hold sway over Earth’s climate. New science is dispelling their delusion and confirming that Mother Nature still is in control of the environment. It turns out the sun’s cosmic rays play a commanding ... MOREGene Healy: "Mission Accomplished" in Libya?
