The effect of tides is interesting since the Indian earthquake followed an eclipse of the sun when the tidal forces from the moon and sun are aligned exactly.

The effect of tides is interesting since the Indian earthquake followed an eclipse of the sun when the tidal forces from the moon and sun are aligned exactly.

In fact, if the physics - based understanding of «equilibrium sensitivity» to any forcing is too low, then not only will CO2 have a greater effect, so too will all other forcings, such as: changes in the sun, in cloud cover, in albedo, etc..

Many of science does not include the difference in the circumference of the equator to the poles, circular motion and the deflection of solar energy off a moving object, the energy difference of compression which has a huge impact to the atmosphere and under the planet's surface (centrifugal force), the possibility of two magnetic fields, the force of the sun's magnetic field in the sequence to the planets circular motion (bugs on the windshield effect), etc. etc. etc..

To you and others like you — it may seem intuitive that when you sit a large stone saucer of water out in the sun, magic forces make part of it get colder due to green house gas effect chaos.

But CO2 and other GHGs absorb infrared and add to the effects of the Sun in additional forcings and feedbacks.

If there was a Jupiter where Mercury is, and a Jupiter where Neptune is, which would have the greatest effect on the Sun (in terms of the forces / processes which ultimately drive solar activity)?

This also explains (along with the logarithmic forcing effect of CO2) why a runaway greenhouse didn't occur: with a dimmer sun, high CO2 is necessary to stop the Earth freezing over.

Our climate changes because of outside effects, called forcings: the sun grows brighter, or its magnetic field changes, ocean currents shift, vegetation changes, or continents move.

(Parenthetically, if it were due to the sun, the same would apply, but elsewhere, Dr. Curry, I, and others have cited references indicating that solar forcing, even with some amplification beyond total solar irradiance, would have only minor moderating effects on significant anthropogenic warming even in the case of a severe solar lull.

Further, when they detailed different climate forcings, the forcing from changing solar irradiance was a trivial rounding error (though they had the good grace to mark their understanding of this as «low») meaning the sun has very little effect vs. what the sun had in 1850 (in the Little Ice Age!)

It seems that you agree that incremental Watts of power from the Sun and incremental Watts of GHG forcing power have the same effect, relative to the surface temperatures.

I always believed that the oceans were an important element in localised weather conditions over the short term but feel that relatively sudden shifts in climate occur through external forcings such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strike and the effects of changes in cosmic rays and sun spot activity, which are, unfortunately, all chaotic by nature and unpredictable.

They do not calculate body - wide tidal forces in their paper, but look at perturbations induced by gravitational forces directly on the inelastic material of the sun «locally focussed tidal effects» if you will.

As the Sun provides an explicit external forcing, a better understanding of its cause and effect in climate change could help us evaluate the importance of other climate forcings (such as past and future greenhouse gas changes).

Who is to say that the effects of the polarity reversal of the Sun's magnetic field (marking Solar Cycle 24's midpoint) will not act in concert with other natural forces to amplify the effects of the Sun on the Earth's future climate in ways we can not comprehend?

Many don't want to believe that the environment is far bigger than us - not to say humans don't influence it, because we do, but much of the effect is from outside forces outside of human control, in particular, the Sun.

It is simply that after accounting as best one can for the influence of the sun you still can't match the observed climate over the past ~ 30 - 50 years without including the effects of additional greenhouse gas forcing.
