The Pew Center on Global Climate Change (www.pewclimate.org) has also released a report claiming that temperature rise due to manmade greenhouse gas emissions could occur more rapidly than previously thought.

Numerous, abrupt, short-lived warming and cooling episodes, much more intense than recent warming/cooling, occurred during the last Ice Age and in the 10,000 years that followed, none of which could have been caused by changes in atmospheric CO2 because they happened before CO2 began to rise sharply around 1945.

However, the sun can influence the earth in many other ways that the IPCC Report does not consider, in part because the mechanisms are not well understood.
