Please do. And it would be best if you could point to a paper in a peer reviewed journal.
You can find this guy Dr. Willie Soon on a bunch of youtube videos where he is denying that humans (CO2) are causing the temperature increase and instead, its the sun. He is a popular speaker at climate change denier conventions because.. in my opinion, he is an entertaining speaker. Note the sign behind him.. which says the sun is the main driver of climate change. Not humans, not CO2.
How does he make a living? From here
Willie Soon
“U.S. oil and coal companies, including ExxonMobil, the American Petroleum Institute, Koch Industries, and the world’s largest coal-burning utility, Southern Company, have contributed more than $1 million over the past decade to his research. According to Greenpeace, every grant Dr. Soon has received since 2002 has been from oil or coal interests
I have received scientific research grants from Exxon-Mobil Foundation, Southern Company and the Charles G. Koch Foundation for my work on various topics, including scientific research on the Sun-climate connection
He is of course also making $$ being a presenter at the denial conventions, probably also making $$ from youtube views.
Peer reviewed papers.. well.. not exactly in this case. From one paper he published
After the article was published, three of the editors of
Climate Research resigned in protest, including incoming editor-in-chief Hans von Storch. Storch declared the article was seriously flawed because “the conclusions [were] not supported by the evidence presented in the paper.” In addition to the resignations, thirteen of the scientists cited in the paper published rebuttals stating that Soon and Baliunas had misinterpreted their work
I tried finding the paper on the sun causing the planet warming.. it would have cost something like $40.
A friend of mine who thinks the scientists are all lying to us sent me this youtube video with a Dr Willie Soon presentation. The video is here
For about 50 minutes, he is trashing all the actual peer reviewed science (you can pick apart pretty much everything he says) but its entertaining.
But.. at around 56 minutes into the video, he kind of quickly talks about his own research into why its the sun that caused the warming.
Someone can check the details but this is what I got from listening to the video a bunch of times at around the 56 minute mark.
He says it is extremely hard to find the solar irradiance.. hardest part of climate science is understanding clouds.
Turns out I was able to find one set of data showing this
Then the plot below shows up.
Take a look at the Y axis "sunshine duration (hours) over Japan". And there is a nice plot (red) showing this.
This plot from the presentation below shows the Y axis on the right now but says solar irradiance. Note that the plot of solar power is the same shape as the sunshine over Japan.
Good Grief.. is this the set of data he was able to find.. Only cost 1M$$ to find this..
Notice in the plots from Willie Soons talk that the temperature anomalies do follow the sun output (or actually whatever that data from cloudy days in Japan is).
Now.. you might wonder as well as I did.. Satellites have been measuring the sun output power from the late 70's. Viola.. easy peasy to get direct measurements of the sun. No clouds, no atmosphere, just a simple direct measurement. Why didnt Dr Soon think of this? The satellite measured solar radiation power which is the simple direct and accurate way to measure is in the picture below from this link
New NASA Instrument Measures Sunshine on Earth
Hmm.. do you notice that the satellite measured incoming solar power does not resemble at all what Dr. Soon is trying to pass off as science. In fact, you can see the 11 year sun spot activity peaks but an overall downward trend in average solar power. This does NOT at all correlate with the plots of global temperature anomaly increases. The actual temperature anomaly plots are in post 222 a few above. so I wont post again. But there is no correlation.. in fact the sun output and the global temperature anomaly are moving in different directions.
I find Dr Soons work very poor and intentionally deceptive. In my opinion, he is a sell out and earning probably a great living doing so.
We can talk about any of the other deceptions in that video as its chock full. Go back the beginning again and look who has been funding this deception.
