You delight in being wrong, don't you?

The current high level of solar activity may also have
an impact on the terrestrial climate. We note a general
similarity between our long-term SN reconstruction and
different reconstructions of temperature [28, 29]: (1) both
SN and temperature show a slow decreasing trend just
prior to 1900, followed by a steep rise that is unprecedented
during the last millenium;
