Scientists Trace Heat Wave To Massive Star At Center Of Solar System

Science makes astounding discoveries everyday:

Quote:
Groundbreaking new findings announced Monday suggest the record-setting heat wave plaguing much of the United States may be due to radiation emitted from an enormous star located in the center of the solar system.
It's not only responsible for this heat wave but every one!

Quote:
Scientists believe the star, which they have named G2V65, may in fact be the same bright yellow orb seen arcing over the sky day after day, and given its extreme heat and proximity to Earth, it is likely not only to have caused the heat wave, but to be responsible for every warm day in human history.
It's even hotter than St. Louis!

Quote:
"We originally thought that if this star was producing temperatures of 100-plus in the South and Midwest, it must be at least 100 degrees itself," Kivens added. "But it turns out it's far, far hotter than that, with a surface temperature of nearly 10,900 degrees Fahrenheit."
And it's responsible for other scientific phenomena!

Quote:
According to Kivens, the discovery has prompted researchers to explore the possibility that a variety of phenomena accompanying the heat wave could also be linked to the star, including taller grass, hot car seats, red skin burns, and sweating "even when one has just been standing there and hasn't been running around or anything."

Oh man, that explains it. We've been getting it too, people said they saw it in broad daylight on some clear days.

Actually/seriously, cosmic radiation may have a lot to do with cloud formation, and thus climate.

Sure, if you believe them hippie-liberals.

I'll bet Al Gore is behind this study.

Those same statisticians determined that three fourths of the world's people make up 75% of the human population. Just astonishing.
