New data have more accurately quantifi ed changes in solar spectral fl uxes over a broad range of wavelengths in association
with changing solar activity.
This early empirical study by Neuberger supports Svensmark's hypothesis that
changing solar activity creates changing lower cloud cover, which causes changing temperatures.
Their findings indicated that, overall, the contribution
of changing solar activity, either directly or through cosmic rays, was even less and can not have contributed more than 10 percent to global warming in the 20th century.
«We conclude that the level of contribution of
changing solar activity is less than 10 percent of the measured global warming observed in the 20th century.
The data suggests that
changing solar activity is influencing in some way the global climate causing the world to get warmer.
