More on the Myth that Humans are Causing Global Warming

In Viscount Monckton's letter he references an aritcle by L.F. Khilyuk and G.V. Chilingar in Environmental Geology entitled "On Global Forces of Nature Driving the Earth's Climate: Are Humans Involved?". One interesting quote from the article:

The human-induced climatic changes are negligible... The global warming observed during the last 150 years is just a short episode in geologic history. The current global warming is most likely a combined effect of increased solar and tectonic activities and cannot be attributed to the increased anthropogenic impact on the atmosphere. ...Humans may be reponsible for less than 0.01 [degrees celsius] of approximately 0.56 [degrees celsius] (1 [degree Fahrenheit]) total average atmospheric heating during the last century.

Will we read about this in the Lamestream Media? Don't hold your breath.
