I find it odd that when the small forcing of CO2 is brought up people say it's a miniscule change, even though the trend is there, but when someone says it's the Sun, even though that is a miniscule change, they see the trend immediately.

There is some uncertainty in the solar pattern when you start to include more interactive components, but given the small forcing, this is not going to move things far.

What would change would be the scaling — less than one would imply a better fit with a lower sensitivity (or smaller forcing), and vice versa (see figure 10.4).
