Steve gets stumped by question. Why does global temperature lead sunspot activity? hmm, I'll get back to you on that one.

  • But this leads me to another question: how can the IPCC claim that they fully understand and have accounted for solar variation, if they don't know why sunspot activity lags behind solar induced temperature changes?

    Any thoughts would be appreciated.

  • Why does the peak in temperature tend to occur before the peak in sunspot activity? This doesn't mean the solar theory should be tossed out the window, there is still a strong correlation, the hypothesis just needs to be modified. The best possible explanation I can think of is that the peak in solar activity might occur slightly before the peak in sunspots; perhaps sunspot activity actually has a slight lag behind solar irradiance. There could be other explanations as well.

  • I'm thinking. By the way, I am impressed by the depth of your understanding of Earth climate.

  • i made a global warming music video, check it out on my page! "Al Gore Rhythm"
