The big problem is to explain a lag of more than 30 years when direct measurements of quantities (galactic cosmic rays, 10.7 cm solar radio, magnetic index, level of sunspot numbers, solar cycle lengths) do not indicate any trend in the solar activity since the 1950s.

Because of the variations of sunspots and faculae on the sun's surface, the total solar irradiance (TSI), also called the solar constant, varies on a roughly 11 - year cycle by about 0.07 %, which has been measured by orbiting satellites since 1978 [Lean, 1987, 1991; Wilson et al., 1981].

Since they were «always there» and happened to be the same ones in the sunspot data, and the ones in the sunspot data were the same ones noted in the literature for sun phenomena as having physical basis, I assumed they probably were physical reality in the temperature data (doesn't mean they were though).

In fact it is the other way round, since active regions around the sunspots emit more radiation than is «lost» in the cooler sunspot areas.

On the other hand, the 19th century observations is based on only counted easily observed sunspots, so we may be below the older trend, since we're now counting Tiny Tims.

Comment on» Millennium Scale Sunspot Number Reconstruction: Evidence for an Unusually Active Sun Since the 1940s».

But since the climate is dependent on chaos - driven events, such as: sunspots, solar flares, vulcanism, and the actions of humanity, it can also (I believe) be considered a chaotic system.

[Response: In this estimation, you divided a small amplitude ba an even smaller (the 22 - year Hale cycle is not very strong, and not even discernable in the sunspot record, even though we have reasons to believe it exists since the magnetic fields flip), thus not a very reliable method.

This will be exacerbated by the increase in solar radiation since the 11 - year sunspot cycle is now in the upswing, instead of in its downswing mode as it was during the past decade.
