Volcanic Dust, Sunspots, and Temperature Trends

The extent to which two often proposed external causes of climatic change, volcanic dust and variations in the solar constant correlated with variable sunspot activity, might account for the general patterns of surface temperature variation since A.D. 1600 are examined. The consequences of a simple climatic model are discussed. 32 references. (BJG)
