re: #81 Spare O’Lake

The learned scientists from the Max Plank Institute said that sunspot variations do not account for all the solar effects on climate, and they suggest that UV and Solar Wind might do so.

No the MSM article you quoted says they say that. I am certain that the actual papers will have a number of caveats, like, solar activity might account for a certain very specific effect, not the over all warming, or it might have accounted for a very specific effect in the past, but not now etc…

Are you saying that UV and Solar Wind changes do not or can not account for a significant portion of our climate changes?

Yes, and I had thought that I made a very very clear set of arguments for why.

Don’t make this into an appeal to authority. Use your head. If the sun were causing the warming through greater output (especially since the output is currently slightly less), why does the atmosphere heat from the bottom up and not the top down?

If I cook something from the outside, the outside heats up first right?
