{However, the sun's variability is probably not significant enough in the scale we're discussing to account for the level of change we've seen.}

So you would dispute the NASA data which has also evidenced planet warming comparable with solar output, on Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn?

Again, most climatologists now agree that the warming period stopped in 2002, strangely enough when solar output declined.

CO2 saturation in the oceans is impossible, given the moderating influence of ocean flora. As I study ice core CO2, overlaid with other tempature indicators, CO2 is a lagging climate indicator, not a predictor.

I guess you’d better present that data, cause as I see it, that’s not what NASA has said.

“’The situation is pretty ambiguous,’ said David Rind, a senior climate researcher at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies, who has modeled the Maunder Minimum.” http://www.livescience.com/environment/070312_solarsys_warming.html
