Abstract

A significant part of the earth's climate variability is caused by changes in the solar emission. Instrumental observation of the sun gives us some idea about decadal variability in the solar radiation. On longer timescales, we look to palaeoclimate proxies to learn about solar variability. In this review we discuss various palaeo-records and what we have learnt from them. In addition, we outline important questions that need to be addressed.
