The Role of the Sun in Climate Change Description
This book will review the physics of the concept of solar forcing, or driving, of climate change in manageable terms, tracing its history from its beginnings in the early 1800s to a resurgence of interest in the idea in recent years. Emphasis will be on solar variation as a driver for climate change; other mechanisms will be treated briefly.

The luminosity of the sun governs the temperature of the planets. And the solar forcing or driving of climate primarily due to changes insolar radiation is an idea whose history has not been well documented in a book. Recent satellite measurements have shown that solar radiation varies as a function of wavelength - a concept that for the past two centuries scientists have claimed would be proved. Now with all of the attention being given to global warming this topic has again become timely. The book will review the physics of the concept of solar forcing in manageable terms tracing its history from its beginnings in the early 1800s toits apparent success in the 1920s to its near demise in the 1950s and its resurrection in recent years. Emphasis will be on solar variation as a driver for climate change with only a brief discussion of other mechanisms - thus assuring the book a clear focus.
