Over the Last few summers our power companies observed a 10% reduction in output on their solar arrays. They cleaned them and tested the panels to see what was degrading but found no problem with the equipment. When they found no problems on the receiving end they looked to the Sun.
We may have just stumbled onto what caused the rapid warm up. Dr. David Archibald of SHO (Solar Heiolos Observatory) wrote about solar dimming About 10 years ago. They noted a shift in downwelling solar radiation which appeared, at first to reduce solar cell output by 10%. When they evaluated this region of the suns output 0.2 to 1.1um they found it was simply a shift in energy from a more energetic spectrum to a longer wave, less energetic spectrum. IE: dimming. This dimming had little or no effect on the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI).
What they failed to look at initially, was what on earth was being affected besides solar panels. Earth's oceans are warmed to depth by emitted energy in the 0.2-0.6um region of the suns downwelling radiation. We lost approximately 2-15w/m^2 in downwelling radiation in this region and when it shifted (dimmed) the ocean could no longer uptake this energy. 72% of earth's surface is water. This is a significant loss of energy absorption. IT took 10 years for the buffer we call our oceans to release the energy they had stored and now we are cooling and nothing on earth is going to stop it.
Were in our third deep dive in the ENSO (equatorial north south oscillations). Our oceans have lost 3 deg C in ten years. Like a light switch the sun can give us warmth or take it away as we have just witnessed.
Some scientists say that region of the suns output should affect the grasses greening. But the region affecting the photosynthesis process are longer in wavelength.

It's actually just half of the visible spectrum and in the UV. It is this UV area that heats our oceans to depth. The grass is not affected by this regions dimming. The grass is not adversely affected by this section of the spectrum. The change is near 2-15w/m^2 in the oceans but not on land. The portion which heat the land is relatively unchanged.
As to the laughable "boiling the oceans off", that prediction is not possible in our atmosphere until the sun begins enlarging, before going super nova. the loss in the downwelling radiation region, which warms our oceans to depth, will result in global cooling.
What I find very a nerving, the amount of money is being thrown at Dr Archibald and the science to disprove him. All they have done is confirm his findings and now they resort to personal attacks and baseless drivel. They never address his findings after they were pawned by their own explorations into the science.
It is truly the sad state of affairs we find our professional people doing. they are so beholden to the left wing narrative they will slander good people in order to discredit them.
