Changes in the Sun cause global warming? Where's a website?

Question

Everything I've seen says changes in solar radiation are only a minor part of global warming. Some have scientific data, such as:

Can anybody show me a website that says changes in solar radiation have a major role in global warming? Preferably with actual data, but anything will do. Thanks.

Answer 1

This has been the GOP's favorite theory to insert uncertainty and doubt into an otherwise settled scientific question. You'll find most of this garbage on conservative-aligned sites.

Here's a piece on this phenomenon - DuPont pushed research heavily on the solar radiation contribution. Oil companies have also offered to support global warming research - providing that it shows contributors other than burning petroleum!

Answer 2

Our sun is a yellow star, which is in an expansion stage, right before the big collapse. I think the expansion definitely has some effects on global warming, as do green house gases. Where's the website? The governments of the world don't want to cause a mass hysteria...

Answer 3

But the argument appears to be faulty. More information at the sources.
