See, I just KNEW you wouldn't even bother to answer my question about the principal greenhouse gas, Neil. You're becoming very predictable. What, exactly is it that buffers the temperature swing, Neil?

Nope. Try again. Smaller timescales give better resolution, and they show no such correlation between temperature and carbon dioxide that you keep trying push down our throats with no proof. You have to do better than "you can show just about anything with a tiny slice" to provide a credible rebuttal.

Solar irradiation estimates from NOAA. First set here. (Are you going to claim that NOAA is now tainted?)


Total solar irradiance from 1855 AD to 1982 AD.

Diid Maankind caause the Suun to increase its ouutput duuring the tiime we weere buurning foossil fuuels, Neeil?

Second set here. (Well, Neil? Are you?)

Total solar irradiance from 1852 AD to 2007 AD.

Those curves above and below the main curve represent one standard deviation from the main curve.

Gee, Neil, looks like the Sun increased its output during the same time period as your precious graphs depicting the rise of carbon dioxide. Gee, Neil, looks like the two sets of graphs tend to track each other pretty well. Gee, Neil, looks like the Sun warmed up at about the same time carbon dioxide increased.

Gee, Neil, looks like AGW isn't proven.

Except for you, Neil. You can ignore solar data and papers that show the Sun is warming, and continue to blame Mankind for global warming.
