Solar activity drives CO2 levels

Hypothesis: Increasing accumulated solar activity [sunspot time-integral] since the Maunder Minimum 1645-1715 AD has warmed the oceans and land, warming of the oceans has increased ocean outgassing of CO2 [Henry's Law] and has been the primary cause of increased atmospheric CO2 levels. Ocean temperatures driven by solar activity control atmospheric CO2 levels on short, intermediate, and long-term timescales.

Accumulated solar energy drives global surface temperatures:

Solar activity drives sea surface temperatures:







Solar activity drives ocean oscillations [plus possible lunar-solar tide influence]:

And also see this paper finding solar activity drives the NAO with a lag of a few years

And an increase of accumulated solar energy [sunspot time-integral] warms the bulk of the oceans due to the deep penetration of high-energy solar UV of up to 100 meter depth [vs. only a few microns penetration of longwave IR from greenhouse gases].

The sunspot time-integral shown in green has been on an increasing trend since the beginning of the Mauna Loa CO2 record shown in red. Increasing solar activity warms the oceans, which drives CO2 outgassing via Henry's Law, increasing CO2 levels in the atmosphere.

Plot graph here that simultaneously demonstrates the observational evidence that 

• temperature drives CO2
• CO2 does not drive temperature
• man is not the primary cause of the rise in CO2 levels
• 
  

The effect follows the cause; the cause does not follow the effect [mathematical proof]. Short-term global temperature changes precede CO2 levels by about 1 year as shown by observations, and by 800+ years in ice core data. CO2 lags temperature on short, intermediate, and long-term timescales [and see here]:

And CO2 lags temperatures on intermediate timescales:

And CO2 lags temperatures on long-term timescales by ~800 years:

Note increased IR "back-radiation" from greenhouse gases cannot warm the oceans, and if anything, increases evaporative cooling of the ocean skin surface, which acts as a negative feedback via surface cooling and more clouds. 

Also note if increased solar activity warms the oceans, the solubility of CO2 in the oceans decreases due to Henry's Law, thus preventing "acidification" of the oceans. If the oceans are warming due to any cause, Henry's Law says solubility of CO2 decreases and outgassing increases, preventing "acidification" from man-made and natural sources of CO2. Warnings about ocean acidification are misleading and overblown:

But you simply cannot have it both ways – that is an “Inconvenient Truth” !! 

Either the oceans are getting warmer and the CO2 concentration in seawater is decreasing – which means that ocean acidification by man-made CO2 from the atmosphere is complete BS !! 

- or - 

The man-made CO2 from the atmosphere IS dissolving in cooler oceans causing ocean acidification – which means that warming oceans and the associated sea level rises are BS !! 

Take your pick – REAL SCIENCE says you can’t have both.
