As for natural drivers, it has occured to me that Andrew is not be keeping up with literature in his own field.. in fact its been conceeded that solar magnetic theory is a major driver of climate - albeit with the connection supposedly breaking down in 1985. See the paper by Mike Lockwood, a physicist at the Rutherford Appleton laboratory and Claus Frolich, of the word radiation centre in Davos, Switzerland.
The paper, "Recently opposite directed trends in climate forcings and the global mean surface temperature" (Proceedings of the Royal Society A, July 13, 2007) s available online. It does not try to argue against the mass of evidence for a link throughout pre-history but alleges that it breaks down in 1985.. there is considerable argument about that but the paper was well received by global warmists.
Andrew would have done well to explore that link rather than rant about CO2 again. Leave it with you..
