The statements following the text on Solanki says that others (muscheler et al.) have found at three periods of equally or higher solar activity in the past than today. I have not read the paper by Svaldgaard and I do not have the time to do right now, but may consider it for the final round this summer. Cheers,fj PS: thanks for the edits on my draft text.
