«A peer - reviewed paper [Krivova et al.] published in the Journal of Geophysical Research finds that
reconstructions of total solar irradiance (TSI) show a significant increase since the Maunder minimum in the 1600's during the Little Ice Age and shows further increases over the 19th and 20th centuries... Use of the Stefan - Boltzmann equation indicates that a 1.25 W / m2 increase in solar activity could account for an approximate.44 C
global temperature increase... A significant new finding is that portions of the more energetic ultraviolet region of the solar spectrum increased by almost 50 % over the 400
years since the Maunder minimum... This is highly significant because the UV portion of the solar spectrum is the most important for heating of the oceans due to the greatest penetration beyond the surface and highest energy levels.

Their two main results are a confirmation that current
global surface temperatures are hotter than at any time in the past 1,400
years (the general «hockey stick» shape, as shown in Figure 1), and that while the Medieval Warm Period (MWP) and Little Ice Age (LIA) are clearly visible events in their
reconstruction, they were not globally synchronized events.

And, when you have fully two cycles of a 60
year oscillation evident within the higher accuracy, directly measured data spanning the previous century, and it appears all over the place in proxy

year quasi-cyclic phenomenon influencing
global temperatures.
Small wonder, then, that the modelers» computer «
reconstructions» of the planet's past climate conveniently wiped out the well - documented three - centuries - long Medieval Warming Period, as well as the subsequent 500

global warming trend at all.

years — which is complete piffle), 3) the numerical
global climate do a poor job of past
reconstruction and are unlikely to be very reliable in predicting the consequences of future human activity.
