I have not quoted media, I have quoted scientific sources.

NOBODY has been able to refute a single letter I have quoted. I have noticed that.

Booby, I read the descriptions and laugh.

Dubyne is an oilseed salesman, he can refute nothing. He lied about the fox, the pink lake and so much more which I have documented, Booby. He is not a credible source, he is spinning a line that he is probably being paid to spin. Total useless garbage.

How much time have you wasted watching all 400–odd videos and reading the fruitcake comments? You will never get that time back, Booby and they have filled your head with nonsense.

Implications for global warming of intercycle solar irradiance variations

FOLLOWING earlier studies1–6, attention has recently been directed again to the possibility that long-term solar irradiance variations, rather than increased greenhouse gas concentrations, have been the dominant cause of the observed rise in global-mean surface temperature from the mid-nineteenth century to the present. Friis-Christensen and Lassen7 report a high correlation (0.95; ref. 8) between the variable period of the '11-year' sunspot cycle and the mean Northern Hemisphere land surface temperature from 1865 to 1985. The Marshall Institute report9 concludes that '…the sun has been the controlling influence on climate in the last 100 years, with the greenhouse effect playing a smaller role." Here we explore the implication that such putative solar irradiance variations would have for global warming. Our results provide strong circumstantial evidence that there have been intercycle variations in solar irradiance which have contributed to the observed temperature changes since 1856. However, we find that since the nineteenth century, greenhouse gases, not solar irradiance variations, have been the dominant contributor to the observed temperature changes.

Abstract. A composite record of the Sun's total irradiance
compiled from measurements made by five independent
space-based radiometers since 1978 exhibits a prominent 11-
year cycle with similar levels during 1986 and 1996, the two
most recent minimum epochs of solar activity. This finding
contradicts recent assertions of a 0.04% irradiance increase
from the 1986 to 1996 solar minima and suggests that solar
radiative output trends contributed little of the 0.2°C
increase in the global mean surface temperature in the past
decade. Nor does our 18-year composite irradiance record
support a recent upward irradiance trend inferred from solar
cycle length, a parameter used to imply a close linkage
in the present century between solar variability and climate
change.
