"The possibility that current climate models underestimate the effect of solar variations on climate is probably the single most contentious issue in climate research at the moment, " said Dr Myles Allen of the department of physics at Oxford University.
The publication was commissoned in conjunction with Surface Ocean - Lower Atmosphere Study (SOLAS), the International Commission on Atmospheric Chemistry and Global Pollution (ICACGP), The World Climate Research Programme (WCRP), The International Geosphere-Biosphere Programme (IGBP) and the Scientific Committee on Oceanic Research (SCOR).
As such, they form an essential component of marine observing systems established as part of the World Weather Watch, the World Climate Research Programme, the Global Ocean Observing System, the Global Climate Observing System and other meteorological and oceanographic operational and research programmes.
They also contend that data selection has been biased -- a charge which gained credence during the so-called "Climategate" scandal in 2009, when thousands of private emails from the UK's University of East Anglia's Climate Research Unit (CRU) were published on the Internet.
For instance, the Hadley Centre for climate research in the UK, published research only this week suggesting that forests will speed up climate change in the future, as the soil will start to emit more greenhouse gases than the trees absorb as the temperature builds up.
The Climate Research Unit (CRU) at the University of East Anglia (UEA) in Norwich, England released almost all of the meteorological raw data it had from gathered from national meteorological services and grouped into a widely contested global land-temperature dataset, commonly known as CRUTEM.

Critics of climate change research, which has generally covered the last 1, 500 to 2, 000 years, have complained that it has been too short-sighted.
Analysts at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research in Germany said a rise of at least 3C (5.4F) by 2100 was likely.
