The Role of the Sun in Climate Change

The first part of the bibliography lists major papers mentioned in the text of the chapters. Many early references and those dealing with non-sun/climate topics are considered to be minor and are not included in the bibliography. A few background references not explicitly mentioned in the text are also included in the chapter bibliography. The second part provides a fairly complete chronological listing of sun/climate-related papers and books to 1900. After 1900, we list papers that, in our judgment, appear better than average or important. The final section lists books primarily devoted to sun/weather/ climate relationships.
