Abstract
GRANTING (1) that solar periodicity produces a corresponding periodicity in any of the elements which make the climate of the earth as a whole what it is, and (2) that the expression for that periodical change contains only the two first terms of the general expression, i.e. that there are no secondary … periods, both large admissions in the present state of our knowledge, it does not appear how a simple fluctuation of solar temperature, recurring, we will say, every eleven years, could produce several periodic fluctuations of terrestrial temperature, identical in duration but not simultaneous, some one or more being therefore partially or completely opposed in phase to some one or more of the remainder, and to the causal fluctuation.
