One can overlay the two “ramp ups” and find a very similar “curve”. Quite striking!

I think fundamentally what Mr. Zimmerman is saying is somewhat in line with other scientists, and that if the Sun is not taken into account, you do not have an understanding of what is going on. Net CO2 output has increased over the past few years, and yet the Global temp has not significantly changed. That is not to say CO2 has no effect. Think of it this way. the equation for Global temperature change has 20-30 variables. Honest Scientists should be trying to put the correct Coefficient on each. Dishonest scientist are putting Coefficient they want to move a point they would like. I believe the data is far more convincing that the Coefficient for the sun is higher than the Coefficient of effect for CO2. Think if scientist were more open to these discussions, I think more people would be onboard. Right now, all I see is naked political will being put upon populations without regard to science.
Any climate change discussion that dismiss current and gen VI reactors is not a serious discussion and I will ignore with a clear conscience.

The strongest solar cycle in recent times was 19 which peaked in March 1958, since then the trend in cycle strength has been downward while global temperature trend has been strongly upward.

“Sadly, because the Sun’s high activity is likely going to act to warm the Earth’s climate somewhat in the next decade — based on data over the last few centuries that correlates high activity with increased temperatures — the global warming crowd of activists who pose as scientists are going to claim that their consensus prediction is right,”

No, sadly what we are going to see is “skeptics” claiming that future warming, which is going to happen irrespective of solar activity, is now proven due to solar activity.
