TI-83 is a scam run on Schools, Students and Teachers. There are books written on how to do math on THIS calculator. They don't teach math, they teach math on this Calculator.

nd that annoying white blob called the Sun which itself exhibits wild temperature variations of upwards of +/-1500C at the photosphere?

Please demonstrate a correlation between any solar parameter and the current temperature trends. Remember -- no causation without correlation.

Slight failure of imagination on your part there.
