Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) showed that when we filter out the short - term effects of the sun, volcanoes, and El Niño cycles, the underlying man - made global warming trend becomes even more clear (Figure 3).

It's often considered «common sense» that global warming is caused by the Sun.

And those who argue that «it's the Sun» fail to comprehend that we understand the major mechanisms by which the Sun influences the global climate, and that they can not explain the current global warming trend.

The Sun has both direct and indirect influences over the Earth's temperature, and we can evaluate whether these effects could be responsible for a significant amount of the recent global warming.

Claims that the Sun has caused as much as 70 % of the recent global warming... presents fundamental puzzles.

Both scenarios are far less plausible than the simple attribution of most (90 %) industrial global warming to anthropogenic effects, rather than to the Sun.

The breakdown in correlation is just to show that the sun can not be the cause of global warming in the last few decades.

Solar cycle length as a proxy for solar activity tells us the sun has had very little contribution to global warming since 1975.

Thus the Sun could have contributed roughly 4/8 = 50 % of the global NH surface warming that occurred from 1900 to 2005.

Ammann 2007, Lockwood 2007, Foukal 2006, Scafetta 2006, Usoskin 2005 and many other papers (here is a more comprehensive list) all find the sun has had a minimal impact on global warming over the past 30 years.

Blaming global warming on the sun continues to be the # 1 skeptic argument.

This means that when modern global warming trend began in the 1970's, the correlation between sun and climate broke down.

However, focusing on one fact (the sun affects climate) while ignoring the broader picture (the sun is cooling) leads to the erroneous conclusion that the sun is causing global warming.

In addition, if there is less water being absorbed in the evaporation process, the sun's energy will just be going into the atmosphere, instead of being absorbed, and that could exacerbate global warming.

When putting this in context with the recent global warming, then there seems to be some sticky points, namely that one would expect that an intensification in the UV emission (due to a more active sun) would result in a warmer stratosphere — not?

There are a variety of reasons why it's so darn easy for many members of the public to get jerked around by the reason - of - the - day: «global warming is not real», «it's inevitable anyhow», «there's nothing we can do about it», «it's the sun», «we'll just have to acclimate», «we should acclimate», «there's no consensus», «it's all the fault of Love Potion Number 9», or whatever.
