Gobal Warming - Part of a Natural Glacial Cycle?

Author claims the Sun is a variable star that expands and contracts causing reoccuring glacial ages.
 
(mmd-news) - - The enviromentalists are blaming the present warming phenomenon on the emission of greenhouse gases caused by automobile and industrial emissions. British Prime Minister Tony Blair recently recently said "global warming is advancing at an unsustainable rate".
 
Blaming greenhouse gases may be true to a limited extent but the major glacial cycles that have been going on long before mankind came on the scene are the overwhelming cause of the present global warming phenomenon.
 
The global warming we are now experiencing is part of a major natural cycle of variation in the sun's radiant energy that warms the planet, a natural phase of the sun's cycle of expansion and contractions. Donald Hamilton, author of: "The Mind of Mankind" (Refer: Chapter 12 - The Birth of the Earth) claims these periodical expansions and contractions of the sun are the cause of the major glacial and interglacial periods that geologists have determined, happened with remarkable regularity over the past million years and probably throughout much of the life of the planet.
 
These reoccuring glacial periods are strong evidence that our sun is a variable star that expands and contracts in fairly regular cycles, although at a very attenuated pace. This causes the solar energy, warming the planet, to vary over long periods of time. If you could have measured the sun's disk at the height of a glacial age it would have been slightly smaller and therefore the amount of solar energy warming the planet would have been less. The whole planet would have been slightly cooler. It doesn't take much to change the Earth's climate drastically.
 
The major "Nebraskan" glacial age, that occured about a million years ago, was followed by a warm interglacial age that lasted well over 100,000 years. This was followed by the "Kansan" glacial age followed by another long warm interglacial age that lasted about 300,000 years which was followed by the "Illinoian" glacial age. At the present time the planet seems to still be coming out of the latest "Wisconsin" glacial age into another stable warm interglacial age that may last for 100,00 years or more.
 
How long this present global warming phase will last is anyone's guess. It may be nearly over or it may go on for some time yet. What ever it is, as the warming trend levels off and merges with the interglacial period that follows, if it is anything like the previous major glacial cycles, will last for at least thousand centuries. A thousand centuries of warm mild climate, now if only mankind can last through this century.
