Pet scientists for the fossil fuel lobby often claim that an
increased brightness of the Sun is responsible for the observed
rise in the global mean temperature.


I just within the past week read, IIRC, something that
said solar output *is* increasing again after decreasing
during much of the late 1900s. The decrease was in the
1960-1990 timeframe, and the increase was in the 1990s.

At least I think I read that somewhere. Did anyone
else see this?
