«A peer - reviewed paper [Krivova et al.] published in the Journal of Geophysical Research finds that reconstructions of total
solar irradiance (TSI) show a significant increase since the Maunder minimum in the 1600's during the Little Ice Age and shows further increases over the 19th and 20th centuries... Use of the Stefan - Boltzmann equation indicates that a 1.25 W / m2 increase in
solar activity could account for an approximate.44 C global temperature increase... A significant new finding is that portions of the more energetic ultraviolet region of the
solar spectrum increased by almost 50 % over the 400 years since the Maunder minimum... This is highly significant because the UV portion of the
solar spectrum is the most important for heating of the oceans due to the greatest
penetration beyond the surface and
highest energy levels.
