Sorry, but I don't get my scientific data from a television show.

Sorry, but Dr. Richard ALLEY (if you're going to use a source, at least spell his name correctly) even admits that using BE-10 isotope readings for historical sun output estimation is imperfect. Besides that, we're interested in how the Sun affects recent temperature changes. You can't point to historical estimates based in imperfect indirect measurements, and then claim that the Sun does not affect climate. Especially if you're trying to prove that the 3% per annum carbon dioxide (out of all of the annual carbon dioxide production of the Earth) output by Mankind is somehow impossibly causing a net decrease in ice mass.
