No, a new study does not show cosmic-rays are connected to global warming

Phil Plait ("Bad Astronomy") has a nice writeup on how the CERN CLOUD experiment does not provide proof that the Sun is responsible for global warming:

Note especially his excerpt from the paper's abstract.

By the way, I recently watched his three part TV series "Bad Universe" and thought it was really good. I hope they let him make more.
