THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds large changes in solar UV influence climate change

A paper published today in Atmospheric Chemistry & Physics reviews recent satellite data finding that variations in solar UV within solar cycles are up to 6 times greater than previously believed, and that these variations have a significant influence upon the atmosphere and regional climate change. The authors also find that current models don't reproduce these observations. The IPCC dismisses the role of the Sun in climate change by only considering small changes in total solar irradiance [TSI], while ignoring amplification mechanisms such as the large changes in solar UV within and between solar cycles.

THE HOCKEY SCHTICK: New paper finds another non-hockey-stick in Antarctica, temperature decline over past 2000 years

A new paper published in Nature Geoscience reconstructs temperatures of the West Antarctic ice sheet from ice cores and shows that temperatures have declined over the past 2,000 years.
