This happens roughly every 11 years and, when
compared to CO2 concentrations has little to
do with current global warming.
CO2 or Sunspots: Statistical Correlation Chooses
Statistical correlation is a powerful technique with
very many uses. It produces "R squared" a measure of
whether two series of measures trend together.
(Those who are new to statistical correlation and
"R squared" will find a tutorial on the subject here:
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/Correlation.html
http://mathworld.wolfram.com/CorrelationCoefficient.html
Item 20 in the above shows R squared for several graphed
relationships.)
When applied to a time series of global mean surface
temperatures and data from prospective global warming
causes covering the same time period, correlation can
help locate the cause of the observed global warming.
Low "R squared" values, those near zero, can, by
themselves, totally rule out a prospective cause.
High "R squared" values indicate that a prospective
cause is very likely, but do not, by themselves,
'prove' something caused the warming. (Experimental
science rarely 'proves' something like a mathematical
proof does.)
Below are directly observed data for global mean surface
temperature, CO2 concentration, and sunspots for the last
50 years. This is as long as the longest directly
observed record of atmospheric CO2 concentration.
The R^2 value for the correlation of CO2 and planetary
surface temperature is 0.78. The simple rising
line showing heating for increasing CO2 explains a
lot of the variance in the global mean temperature.
The relationship between CO2 and global temperature
is very strong and the anthropogenic greenhouse gas
radiative forcing theory is well supported by these
data.
The R^2 value for sunspots and and planetary
surface temperature is very near zero. These data
clearly do not support any relationship between
sunspot numbers and global mean surface temperature
over the last 50 years. It is very unlikely that
sunspots have anything to do with the current
global warming.
This test applies very easily to all other claims for
global warming causes. It will quickly separate the
wheat from the chaff.

WRONG, fuckhead. It happens no more often than every 300 years. DO YOU
HOMEWORK. Check the historical record for sunspot activity.

Oh, give it up already. The agw movement is done. AGW is a fraud and

As with all government programs[ implementation vs. perceived reality,
Global Warming will be an ice age. No sunspots --> Maunder Minimum.

The solar cycle is 11.x years long, and at minimum the sunspot count is
typically ZERO.
So says the Voice of Libertarian Ignorance and Delusion.
Meanwhile..... Back here in the reality based community.
Here are the global average temperatures since 1958. "o" = trend line.
Look at all those "o"'s lined up there. The trend is up, Up, UP.
And most recently the rate of increase is about 2'C per century.

That is unfortunate because God is a fiction.
Seriously.. Have the appropriate authorities been contacted?
Which God? There are so many to choose from.
