Solar Variability Most Likely Not the Cause of Global Warming
Northern Hem doesn't have the H2O buffer to handle that, but different theories propose glaciers/Ice age vs real desertification/drought at lower latitudes. Name your poison.

The Sun has a variation in how much energy it outputs but this variability is only about one tenth of one percent. The pattern of atmospheric heating since the 1960s is showing an increase with the increase in human activity (industry, transportation, power generation) and neither are showing signs of slowing down… (more…) […] Forester Says: February 21st, 2008 at 5:41 pm I feel you may have inadvertantly misrepresented the case for Solar influence.
