In order to understand the potential importance of the
effect, let's look at
what it could do to our understanding of
climate: 1) It will have zero
effect on the global
climate models, because a) the constraints on these models are derived from other sources b) the
effect is known and there are methods for dealing the errors they introduce c) the
effect they introduce is local, not global, so they can not be responsible for the signal / trend we see, but would at most introduce noise into that signal 2) It will not alter the conclusion that the
climate is
changing or even the degree to which it is
changing because of c) above and because that conclusion is supported by multiple additional lines of evidence, all of which are consistent with the trends shown in the land stations.

pg xiii This Policymakers Summary aims to bring out those elements of the main report which have the greatest relevance to policy formulation, in answering the following questions •
What factors determine global
climate 7 •
What are the greenhouse gases, and how and why are they increasing 9 • Which gases are the most important 9 • How much do we expect the
climate to
change 9 • How much confidence do we have in our predictions 9 • Will the
climate of the future be very different 9 • Have human activities already begun to
change global
climate 9 How much will sea level rise 9 •
What will be the
effects on ecosystems 9 •
What should be done to reduce uncertainties, and how long will this take 9 This report is intended to respond to the practical needs of the policymaker.
It is a sweeping and valuable cross-disciplinary description of ways in which

What is generally required [for proving solar forcing of
climate change] is a consistent signal over a number of cycles (either the 11 year sunspot cycle or more long term variations), similar
