Hissyspit,
While your moniker makes me think you are a Hater, my moniker "Ocean Raider" .... well.... it was the best I could come up with.
However, your recommendation was fascinating. Talk about a plethora of data and interpretations.
My first thought is to find that the case for global warming due to the sun to be not really interesting or persuasive. What interests me is the case where the lack of sunspots leads to cooling.
I am following links from your suggestion and I will not come up for air for a couple of weeks. Talk about Info Overload. I love it.
I wonder if those periods of low sunspot activity were the only thing keeping us from boiling over.
