Lockwood & Fröhlich don’t consider the effect of the vast ocean heat sink on temperature variations.

Sure...and Einstein was wrong because he made a simple arithmetic error. Give it a rest.

A lot of people seem to believe a news article that says "a real smart guy says man made CO₂ is warming the earth and the sun isn't".    Second hand info sucks.  We live in an age were we can get our own numbers, confirm them by taking our own measurements, and then do our own analysis.   It's not all that hard.

I can't work out what you're talking about. Is it your contention that solar insolation ISN'T the primary factor in global temperature?

In which case its time to EAT SOME GRAPHS!!! :0)

The following is a collection of temperature reconstructions. Note the sinusoidal variations in temperature over the last 1000 years. Note the high temperatures 1000 years ago. Perhaps the Guardian can explain how those evil Greenlanders managed to drive temperatures so high in 1000 AD. And why temperatures got so low in the 1600's?
