A
True or False: Solar irradiance (amount of energy from the sun) causes changes
climate.
A) True - but these changes do not explain the current changes because not
layers of the atmosphere are warming.
B) True - this explains the global warming patterns observed over just the las
decade.

Final answer:

Solar activity impacts climate, but recent Earth warming is not solely due to solar irradiance. Factors like temperature layer variations play a role. Solar intensity has been linked to historical climate events like the Little Ice Age.


Explanation:

True: Changes in solar energy continue to affect climate, but since the mid-20th century, solar activity has remained relatively constant, not explaining recent Earth warming.

False: Solar irradiance does not solely explain current changes due to factors like various temperature layers not warming uniformly.

Little Ice Age: Solar intensity, directly related to Earth's temperature, has been suggested as an explanation for past climate shifts such as the Little Ice Age.
