No vested intersts there, I guess...



TIA,

CHeck those statements- they refer ( in the cases I looked at) to SOLAR SUNSPOTS, not to the LONG-TERM variability of the sun. If you think that is not significant, please refer to any period prior to the last 200,000 years, when the average temperatures were greater- and even YOU will have a problem blaming that on MAN-MADE greenhouse gasses.

So the explanation for the melting of the Martian ice cap, and the major changes ( after over 300 years of observed stability) of the atmosphere of Jupiter are ????

I think 300 years is greater than 120 years, but I presume you will correct me in order to prove your point.
