Good catch Ken.

"Dr David Viner, the senior research scientist at the University of East
Anglia's climatic research unit, said the research showed that the sun did
have an effect on global warming.

He added, however, that the study also showed that over the past 20 years the
number of sunspots had remained roughly constant, while the Earth's
temperature had continued to increase.

This suggested that over the past 20 years, human activities such as the
burning of fossil fuels and deforestation had begun to dominate "the natural
factors involved in climate change", he said."

I would not disagree with that.
