There's been some noise amongst "skeptics" about this new Shapiro et al. TSI reconstruction, which shows much (about 6x) larger past TSI changes than previous reconstructions. So I tried to evaluate its plausibility from a climatic standpoint. I think it makes for a pretty interesting post. Bottom line: not surprisingly, it seems very implausible that it's correct. | |

Nice take. You could add that such a strong solar forcing would force the earth's temperature to follow the same pattern of variability unless an even stronger forcing is active. Hard to immagine one. | |

Thanks. So basically Riccardo, for the Shapiro reconstruction to be correct, we would expect temperatures to correlate very strongly with TSI, unless there were consistently another forcing on the order of 1 W/m2, yes? That makes sense - that's a really big forcing. |
