These deltas «comprise about 5 percent of
the total number of sunspots, but contribute almost 100 percent of the trouble,» he says.
Using the same method that I had used earlier for the same years on both data sets, I compared
the total numbers of sunspots in post-1975 years to the 200 years pre-1975, and discovered a surprising result, given all the hype: the GSN reconstruction makes no discernable difference over the SIDC number post-1975 as pertaining to the solar cause of global warming.

Despite
sunspots being black areas that radiate little,
total solar output increases when the
number of sunspots increases.
The Sun's
total energy output varies on multiple cycles and is related to the
number of sunspots, with slightly higher temperatures when there are more
sunspots, and vice versa.
«Arrival

total solar irradiance and an increase in
sunspot number and Mg II emissions.»
Secondly, natural and anthropogenic contributions to these phenomena are examined in detail and separated well through in - depth statistical analyses

of quantities, including cosmic rays (CRs),
total solar irradiance,
sunspot number, halogenated gases (CFCs, CCl4 and HCFCs), CO2,
total O3, lower stratospheric temperatures and global surface temperatures.
Many climate realists believe that Earth appears to be entering a sharp downturn in temperatures over the next few decades because
of the falling
number of sunspots and lower
total solar irradiance.
