Again, not if you ask the IPCC.  Besides, the sentence, "The problem  
is increased solar heat, not the heat we're actually producing"  
heavily implies that climate change is attributable to solar variation  
and there is consensus in the IPCC against that.  Of course, what you  
write in response to my reply appears to state yet another viewpoint,  
so it's difficult to know exactly what's being said, so I'll just go  
off on one and let that be that. :-)

Let's try and write more precisely in the future, then. ;-)

Cheers,

Paul.
