By the way, if you were to investigate, you would find the same lack of trend for US hurricane landfalls, total Northern Hemisphere hurricane strength (ACE), total US forest fires, US snow pack, US droughts, US tornado counts, US wet weather, US storm damage when adjusted for population and property value increases, etc. etc. As I have written many times in the past, when someone posits a trend, don’t accept it on one data point (ie Sandy). Demand a trend line.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper by Scafetta finds the 'most convincing evidence for a sun-climate connection'

A paper published today in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar-Terrestrial Physics by Dr. Nicola Scafetta finds the "Most convincing evidence for a sun-climate connection during the Holocene." Professor Scafetta finds "The Equator-to-Pole Temperature Gradient [EPTG] is linked to Total Solar Irradiance [TSI]," noting, "This newly discovered relationship between TSI and the EPTG represents the 'missing link' that was implicit in the empirical relationship that Soon (2009) recently demonstrated to exist between multi-decadal TSI and Arctic and North Atlantic climatic change."
