In actualization of earlier papers we present a statistical analysis of anthropogenic and natural variance or signals, respectively, which can be detected in the observed global mean surface air temperature series 1860-2008 using multiple linear regression (MLR) and non-linear neural networks (NN). The forcing factors considered are greenhouse gases (GHG), tropospheric sulphate aerosols (SUL), solar activity, volcanism and ENSO (El Nino /southern oscillation). Thereby, a maximum total of explained variance of 88 % is reached by NN compared to 80 % by MLR. The related anthropogenic NN signals are 0.9-1.5 K warming due to GHG, 0.2-0.5 K cooling due to SUL and a combined (GHG+SUL) anthropogenic effect of 0.7-0.9 K warming. The natural signals have a magnitude of roughly 0.2 K. Moving MLR analysis shows that within recent decades the solar signal systematically decreased whereas the GHG signal increased to become a dominant factor of climate variability. Some test procedures address the confidence of the results and the sensitivity of the signals.
