However, in Balling and Sen Roy (2005) he writes: "There is substantial evidence that a non-solar control has become dominant in recent decades. The buildup of
greenhouse gas es and/or some other global-scale feedback, such as widespread changes in atmospheric water vapor, emerge as potential explanations for the recent residual warming found in all latitudinal bands."ee also
