1) Yes, the sun’s output varies slightly
2) Yes, the climate has changed before
3) Yes, we’ve considered that
4) Physics
5) No, we’re not getting rich from this
The answer is still: humans are responsible for nearly all of the warming over the past 150 years

If this sounds positively Pynchonian, you’re not wrong. I first came across octonions in “Against the Day” by Pynchon, where he did more than hint at the centrality of their role in unlocking the mysteries of matter and the universe. (4/8)https://t.co/qiLXMVFVMJ
