Sunspot Numbers – Maunder Minimum – Wikipedia
Prior to the widespread adoption of the superstition that a 0.0001 mole fraction increase in CO2 over the past century controls the climate, scientists took a more rational approach.

The first director of NCAR – Walter Orr Roberts – was a brilliant solar physicist. He understood that the sun controlled earth’s weather.
In 1973, Roberts predicted a drought based on sunspot cycles.

The drought occurred, exactly as he predicted.

In 1951, Roberts discovered a critical relationship between solar activity and weather.

Scientists now claim that a 0.0001 mole fraction increase in CO2 over the past century controls the climate. This is because the Sun can’t be controlled, scientists can’t pretend they know how to prevent bad weather, and politicians can’t use sunspots as an excuse to raise taxes and control energy policy.
