Actually, I sort of subscribe to the notion that it's attributable to
BOTH the solar variation AND the dramatic increase in volcanic activity
the last couple of centuries, with mankind contributing in much the same
way a small child will contribute to the volume of a swimming pool...
Either way - these are all still theories, no one has proof one way or
the other.  One thing is certain, we're going to have to learn to roll
with the changes - and perhaps capture them with our OM equipment.  :-)
I'll see if I can't round up that volcanic reference for you.
