I hope everyone is reading the series of posts by David Evans and Jo Nova about their new hypothesis on why variations in solar irradiance apparently have such a limited effect on the planet's temperature. It's probably fair to say that many sceptics have scratched their heads on this subject from time to time, but the team from down under have gone the extra mile, coming up with what is starting to look like a fascinating explanation, namely that there is a delay between the change in irradiance and subsequent changes in temperature. They hypothesise further that this may be something to do with changes in the Sun's magnetic field.
It's too early to say whether this all holds up of course, but I'm certainly going to be keeping a close eye on it.
