The Unreliability of Current Global Temperature and Solar Activity Estimates and Its Implications for the Attribution of Global Warming

Excerpt:  “Despite the confidence with which the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) claims to have ‘settled the science’ around the detection and attribution of climate change, this challenging scientific debate has not yet been satisfactorily resolved. The IPCC did not provide a strong enough argument for its choice of the available global temperature trends, and the same applies to its choice of the available Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) datasets. The IPCC was overly confident and premature in its detection and attribution statements. The scientific debate is still ongoing, and the scientific community is not yet in a position to establish whether the observed temperature changes since the 1800s are mostly natural, mostly human-caused, or a mixture of both.”
