A surface rock temperature increase combined with a surface air increase and negligible atmospheric increase would tend to support Dr Sallie Baliunas' theory of solar radiation influence, rather than the Greenhouse effect.

The borehole method only measures trend and does not investigate cause. Actual attribution of cause requires modeling, but having an accurate temperature record is important to check the model output accuracy. If the borehole records do support the surface temperature warming pattern, then that pattern is the one that the models must analyze.
