According to the readings from the satellites that measure the output of the Sun , is global warming due to the Sun 's output ?
stated that while " There is ... growing empirical evidence for the Sun 's role in climate change on multiple time scales including the 11 - year cycle " , " changes in terrestrial proxies of solar activity ( such as the 14C and 10Be cosmogenic isotopes and the aa geomagnetic index ) can occur in the absence of long - term ( i.e. , secular ) solar irradiance changes ... because the stochastic response increases with the cycle amplitude , not because there is an actual secular irradiance change .
