1) The Mediaval Maximum of the 12th-Century is attributed with a zero-point-five percent solar variability ( Delta B / B = 0.5% )
2) There is no single solar insolation threshold separating interglacials from interstadials throughout the Quartenary.
3) The 1645-1715 Maunder Minimum ( near absence of sunspots ) is attributed with a 0.14% ( delta B / B = 0.14% ) decrease in irradiance ( sunspots do not control irradiance ).
4) The 'Little Ice Age' was not a 'global' event, but rather a 'regional' event. Other areas of Earth experienced no change to their climate during this episode.
5) Mean average eleven-year solar irradiance variability is delta 0.08%.
