A 10% increase seems like a significant amount, and the trend line is upward.
Be careful how you use percentages..
(Numbers from your chart)
70's levels 280 dobson units..
Fell to 140 DU
(50%)
Rose to 154 ( your 10% increase)
Current levels 154/280
Is 55% of 70's levels...
Now the levels we are taking about in increased solar radiation are tenths of a watt/m2 over 40-50 years.
How long and how deep can you warm the ocean by adding this amount of energy?
The increase from the bottom of energy input up to 5% is now talking of 100ths of w/m2 .
How long would it take to show that amongst normal occillations? Certainly more than a couple years..
Its ok, Yehren, I understand where you are coming from...
Remain skeptical of what I'm saying,
But start looking at the data rather than their interpretation of it.
And consider, that heat can only flow naturally from a warmer object to a colder object.
(If we could ever find the reverse, free energy for everyone!)
Peace!
