Is the sun heating up?

Question

Is it possible that the planet is not really suffering from the green house effect rather the sun's solar energy is increasing in temperature. The longer a fire burns, the hotter it's temperature...I remember studying in school that stars eventually burn out...is "our" sun just going through cycles which we can't really control and the "green" efforts on our part will not stop the green house effect - regardless??

Answer 1

yes, the russians and the japanese have reported the following:

1) the sun is producing more energy

2) mars is experiencing "global warming" similar to earth

so the whole global warming thing is a hoax to control us and take our money

Answer 2

No, solar output has decreased slightly over the past 30 years as global warming has accelerated rapidly.

Even solar scientists say the current warming is mostly not due to the Sun:

Mars is warming for entirely different reasons than the Earth - namely dust storms darkening its surface:

Answer 3

Everything changes. Why wouldn't the sun as well.

Answer 4

I totally agree with Dana1981, Master of Scienc. He is absolutely right. I really have nothing more to add.

Answer 5

The sun is actually shining less brightly due to atmospheric pollution.

Answer 6

the greenhouse is taking most of the suns rays

if the the sun heats up then the greenhouse takes like half of it so there is no differents between heat and the greenhouse effect
