That is, he claimed that the 11 - year sunspot cycle plus its secular and millennial variation, which I was modeling very precisely with my model, could be produced also by this kind of formula f (t) = A * cos (2p * (t - T1) / p1) + B * cos (2p * (t - T2) / p2) Some variation on that formula does a good job, e.g. the one I used in my toy - example: «Sunspot Number» = SQRT (ABS (k * cos (π / p1 * t) + cos (π / p2 * t)-RRB--RRB-

The change in total solar irradiance over recent 11 - year sunspot cycles amounts to < 0.1 %, but greater changes at ultraviolet wavelengths may have substantial impacts on stratospheric ozone concentrations, thereby altering both stratospheric and tropospheric circulation patterns... This model prediction is supported by paleoclimatic proxy reconstructions over the past millennium.

Causes of natural variability include forcings that are external to the climate system (e.g., volcanic eruptions and aerosols and the 11 - year sunspot cycle) and internal fluctuations (weather phenomena, monsoons, El Niño / La Niña, and decadal cycles).
