Hi, EP, List, a small change in the Sun's radiation leads to a big change in temperature. I lean toward SOME small input = big output system as an explanation. It has a certain elegance. A South African meteorologist has noted that sunspot activity varies with the relation of our Sun to

Hi Sterling - My guess for the puzzle's answer: Most likely, the change in solar radiation changes the Earth's ozone level, which in traps more IR. Sort of like the doped layer of a transistor - a small change in the Sun's radiation leads to a big change in temperature. A South African meteor

Hi, Katsuhito, List, Thanks for the accessible link! It would seem that what he wishes to correlate 44Ti with is the "heliospheric modulation parameter." After scurrying to Google, I discover that it is apparently an arbitrary coefficient that reflects the ability of the Sun's heliosphere
