The study argued that changes in the sun's
radiation output played a major role in influencing shifts in Arctic air temperatures — a view
at odds with mainstream climate science, which fingered atmospheric carbon dioxide as a bigger player.
For example, if global warming were due to increased solar
output, we would expect to see all layers of the atmosphere warm, and more warming during the day when the surface is bombarded with solar
radiation than
at night.
The casual disregard of the internal variations / cycles and the «elmination» of any external factors (galactic
radiation effects are a very very interesting for me
at the moment - especially due to the inverse relationship with solar
output) disguise the level of ignorance that we have about the climate as a whole.
This reduction was partially compensated in the total solar
output by an increase in
radiation at visible wavelengths.
This is because Venus has a runaway greenhouse effect, caused by 98 % of its atmosphere being CO2 which traps IR
radiation but is transparent to the visible range the sun peak
output is
at.
Once the oceans are
at equilibrium that'll drop to zero, and equilibrium precisely means that input (from forcing) equal
output (from extra
radiation due to the higher temperature).
For example, if global warming were due to increased solar
output, we would expect to see all layers of the atmosphere warm, and more warming during the day when the surface is bombarded with solar
radiation than
at night.
