<LI>Separately, the global land surface temperature was 50.72 degrees F — 2.02
degrees F above the 20th century mean of 48.7 degrees F, ranking as the warmest
October on record. Much of the unusual warmth occurred over Asia,
Australia, and Eastern Europe.
<DIV>---------------------------------</DIV>
<DIV>And to enlighten and or remind anyone who might be reading this post, solar
forcing is unlikely to be the cause of these warming global temperature trends,
as expertly analyzed in the following scientific paper, that references
spacecraft data on solar output, as was suggested is required to investigate
this question, yet was never acknowledged on this list after I presented the
very data requested:</DIV>

<H3 class=hidden>Abstract</H3>
<P class=lead>Variations in the Sun's total energy output (luminosity) are
caused by changing dark (sunspot) and bright structures on the solar disk during
the 11-year sunspot cycle. The variations measured from spacecraft since 1978
are too small to have contributed appreciably to accelerated global warming over
the past 30 years. In this Review, we show that detailed analysis of these small
output variations has greatly advanced our understanding of solar luminosity
change, and this new understanding indicates that brightening of the Sun is
unlikely to have had a significant influence on global warming since the
seventeenth century. Additional climate forcing by changes in the Sun's output
of ultraviolet light, and of magnetized plasmas, cannot be ruled out. The
suggested mechanisms are, however, too complex to evaluate meaningfully at
present.</P></DIV></DIV>
