climate sensitive to solar variability

climate sensitive to solar variability
http://www.fel.duke.edu/~scafetta/pdf/opinion0308.pdf

Excerpts include:
"We contend that the changes in Earth’s average surface temperature are directly linked to two distinctly different aspects of the Sun’s dynamics: the short-term statistical fluctuations in the Sun’s irradiance and the longer-term solar cycles."

"The nonequilibrium thermodynamic models we used suggest that the Sun is influencing climate significantly more than the IPCC report claims."
