Question: Is global warming due to the sun, according to satellite data?
About the article "Global warming", section "Solar activity".

Candidate passages:
According to Scafetta, total solar irradiance (TSI) measurements gathered by satellites since 1978 are flawed due to the Space Shuttle "Challenger" disaster preventing the launching of the ACRIM 2 satellite to replace ACRIM 1 and resulting in a two-year data gap in the ACRIM time series.
Scientists bridged this gap with data from other satellites and concluded that that there was no increased heating from the Sun to contribute to the global surface warming observed between 1980 and 2002.
Columbia's Richard Willson, principal investigator of the ACRIM experiments and his colleagues, including Scafetta, challenged these findings and argued for a significant upward trend in average solar luminosity during the same period.
Scafetta and West applied a new analysis to the Columbia findings to conclude that, "the sun may have minimally contributed about 10 to 30 percent of the 1980-2002 global surface warming."
In 1992, Baliunas was third author on a "Nature" paper that used observed variations in sun-like stars as an analogue of possible past variations in the Sun.
The paper says that  "the sun is in an unusually steady phase compared to similar stars, which means that reconstructing the past historical brightness record may be more risky than has been generally thought".
By 1995, she had entered the global warming controversy.
In January of that year the Marshall Institute published a review she had written for them, "Are Human Activities Causing Global Warming?"
disputing the IPCC Second Assessment Report and arguing that "predictions of an anthropogenic global warming have been greatly exaggerated, and that the human contribution to global warming over the course of the 21st century will be less than one degree Celsius and probably only a few tenths of a degree."
She concluded with the view that "even if fears of anthropogenic global warming were realized - a concern which finds no support in the scientific data - there is no significant penalty for waiting at least two decades before taking corrective action to reduce global CO2 emissions."
The work of Willie Soon and Baliunas, suggesting that solar variability is more strongly correlated with variations in air temperature than any other factor, even carbon dioxide levels, has been widely publicized by lobby groups including the Marshall Institute and Tech Central Station, and mentioned in the popular press.
Baliunas is a strong skeptic in regard to there being a connection between CO2 rise and climate change, saying in a 2001 essay with Willie Soon:  But is it possible that the particular temperature increase observed in the last 100 years is the result of carbon dioxide produced by human activities?
The scientific evidence clearly indicates that this is not the case... measurements of atmospheric temperatures made by instruments lofted in satellites and balloons "show that no warming has occurred in the atmosphere in the last 50 years".
This is just the period in which humanmade carbon dioxide has been pouring into the atmosphere and according to the climate studies, the resultant atmospheric warming should be clearly evident.
The claim that atmospheric data showed no warming trend was incorrect, as the published satellite and balloon data at that time showed a warming trend (see satellite temperature record).
In later statements Baliunas acknowledged the measured warming in the satellite and balloon records, though she disputed that the observed warming reflected human influence.
Baliunas contends that findings of human influence on climate change are motivated by financial considerations: "If scientists and researchers were coming out releasing reports that global warming has little to do with man, and most to do with just how the planet works, there wouldn't be as much money to study it."
The extinction risk of global warming is the risk species have of becoming extinct due to the effects of global warming. 
The film highlights what it asserts are a number of contradictions and inconsistencies in the evidence supporting man-made global warming.
Atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperature change since 1940.
The film asserts that records of atmospheric levels since 1940 show a continuing increase, but during this period, global temperature decreased until 1975, and has increased since then.
Variations in warming rate.
The programme states that all models of greenhouse effect-derived temperature increase predict that the warming will be at its greatest for a given location in the troposphere and at its lowest near the surface of the earth.
The programme asserts that current satellite and weather balloon data do not support this model, and instead show that the surface warming rate is greater than or equal to the rate in the lower troposphere.
Increases in and temperatures following the end of ice ages.
According to the film, increases in levels lagged (by over 100 years) behind temperature increases during glacial terminations.
Relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide levels and temperature change.
The film asserts that carbon dioxide levels increase or decrease as a result of temperatures increasing or decreasing rather than temperatures following carbon dioxide levels, because as the global climate cools the Earth's oceans absorb carbon dioxide, and as the climate warms the oceans release carbon dioxide.
Influence of oceanic mass on temperature changes.
The programme argues that due to the very large mass of the world's oceans, it takes hundreds of years for global temperature changes to register in oceanic mass, which is why analysis of the Vostok Station and other ice cores shows that changes in the level of atmospheric carbon dioxide follow changes in global temperature by 800 years.
Influence of water vapour on climate change.
According to the film, water vapour makes up 95% of all greenhouse gases and has the largest impact on the planet's temperature.
Water particles in the form of clouds act to reflect incoming solar heat, but the film argues that the effects of clouds cannot be accurately simulated by scientists attempting to predict future weather patterns and their effects on global warming.
Influence of carbon dioxide on climate change.
The film states that carbon dioxide comprises only a very minuscule amount—just 0.054% of the Earth's atmosphere.
According to the film, human activity contributes much less than 1% of that, while volcanoes produce significantly more per year than humans, while plants and animals produce 150 gigatons of each year.
Dying leaves produce even more , and the oceans are "the biggest source of by far."
Human activity produces a mere 6.5 gigatons of each year.
The film concludes that man-made emissions alone cannot be causing global warming.
(Durkin subsequently acknowledged that the claim about volcanic emissions was wrong, and removed the claim from later versions.)
Influence of the sun on climate change.
The film highlights the solar variation theory of global warming, asserting that solar activity is currently at an extremely high level, and that this is directly linked to changes in global temperature.
The posited mechanism involves cosmic rays as well as heat from the sun aiding cloud formation.
The film argues that the activity of the sun is far more influential on global warming and cooling than any other man-made or natural activity on Earth.
Previous episodes of warming.
The programme asserts that the current episode of global warming is nothing unusual and temperatures were even more extreme during the Medieval Warm Period, a time of great prosperity in western Europe.  
Peat and hard coal are the most harmful energy sources for global warming in Finland.
According to VTT studies peat is often the most harmful one.
