Chuckle. I haven't tried to find the article yet, and I don't know who the author from the University of Rochester is, but the author from the University of Alabama will be either Roy Spencer or John Christy, and the author from the University of Virginia is apparently Singer (though it might be Patrick Michaels).

In other words, the skeptics are trying again. For some reason I don't think they'll be more successful this time.

Singer is incorrect. There are multiple ways to show that current solar variability is insufficient to drive the observed climate changes.

"Singer is incorrect. There are multiple ways to show that current solar variability is insufficient to drive the observed climate changes." Except current cooling trends coinciding with current reductions in solar activity. Of course this follows a warming period that coincided with increased solar activity. BTW, watch out for the coming major cooling trend of the next 20-30 years (based on projected decreases in solar activity).
