@ Point one: You'll no doubt blame me again for the fact that
you're confused - but the fact remains that you're not a careful
reader or you would have known noticed that I plainly showed the
article you're quoting didn't originate on FR - it originated here:

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The authors explain their theory that sub-atomic particles from
exploded stars have more effect on the climate than manmade CO2.
Their conclusion stems from Svensmark's research which has shown the
previously unsuspected role that cosmic rays play in creating clouds.
During the last 100 years cosmic rays became scarcer because
unusually vigorous action by the Sun batted away many of them. Fewer
cosmic rays meant fewer clouds--and a warmer world. The theory,
simply put here but explained in fascinating detail, emerges at a
time of intense public and political concern about climate change.
Motivated only by their concern that science must be trustworthy,
Svensmark and Calder invite their readers to put aside their
preconceptions about manmade global warming and look afresh at the
role of Nature in this hottest of world issues.
