"At least 10 to 30 percent of global warming measured during the
past two decades may be due to increased solar output rather than
factors such as increased heat-absorbing carbon dioxide gas
released by various human activities, two Duke University
physicists report.

The physicists said that their findings indicate that climate
models of global warming need to be corrected for the effects
of changes in solar activity. However, they emphasized that
their findings do not argue against the basic theory that
significant global warming is occurring because of carbon
dioxide and other “greenhouse” gases."

So, what's your point?

If 10 years ago scientists the consensus was that the sun's increased output
did not cause global warming, and one year ago it accounted for 30%, then
the trend is definitely that it will account for 100% in about 20 years. I'm
using the same predictive techniques as global warming models. Is there a
problem?
