Abstract

In his 30 January 2007 Eos Forum article, Stanhill [2007] writes about “…the challenge that recently reported changes in solar radiation at the Earth's surface…pose to the consensus explanation of climate change,” referring to the “consensus” assessment reports of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change. Here we offer an alternative perspective on this issue.
