PART 3 - If one examines the correlations between total solar geomagnetic activity and temperatures, the correlation are much, much stronger then that with Co2.

For most cool - termperate climates, this means a U-value of 0.80 W / (m ² K) or less, with g - values around 50 % (g - value = total solar transmittance, proportion of the solar energy available for the room).

Not much was said about the other three channels, Band A the total radiation channel out to 100 microns, Band B which monitors the total solar light reflected from the earth (albedo) and Band C which captures the NIR solar reflected out to 4 microns.

It would take a 1 % reduction in total solar to amount to about 3.4 W / m ^ 2.

Pluto temperatures are from «The Cambridge Planetary Handbook» by Michael E. Bakich, Cambridge University Press, 2000, page 297, and the solar forcings of Pluto were calculated by scaling Earth total solar incident irradiance (1360 W / m ^ 2) by (1 / AU ^ 2) for Pluto at its minimum, mid, and maximal distance from the sun.

is total solar irradiance (TSI) and we have continuous measurement of TSI from weather satellites since late 1978 as

The Holy Grail of climatology has always been to ascertain whether, and if so how, the sun might affect the Earth's energy budget to cause the climate swings observed throughout history despite the apparent inadequacy of the tiny variations in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) that occur from one series of solar cycles to another.

However, it is not the variation in the TSI (total solar irradiance) which is causing the change.

The temperature around the world is now increasing and TSI (Total Solar Irradiance) I think solar cycle can cause global warming because our temperature is increasing by radiation from the sun which comes from solar cycle too.

So is total solar irradiance (TSI) and we have continuous measurement of TSI from weather satellites since late 1978 as shown on this graph from the World Radiation Centre in Davos.

One of the greatest deficiencies of the IPCC approach, is that the only solar variable they are willing to consider is TSI (total solar insolation.)
