This is a great site.

Too bad it’s too advanced for a sizable percentage of the Obamadork butt-kissing climate “scientists”.

Heh, you’re going to that site, so you are most probably one of the good guys!

I’m not a liberal scientist, but does this mean solar influence has more to do with our climate than man made influences?

YES.

Only hand wringers and bed wetters believe in anthropogenic globull warming.

Facts are stubborn things and the facts are that anthropogenic globull warming is a fraud.

Basically, solar cycles resulting in decreased sunspot activity = decreased solar irradiance = additional cosmic ray flux.

In brief, a double whammy: as solar irradiance declines, cosmic ray influx increases both absolutely and in terms of its angle of incidence.

This means greater cloud cover as the total solar energy reaching the earth decreases, hence even larger drops in surface temperature.

Finally, large time scale solar cycles are clearly visible in carbon-14 changes in tree rings, so those cycles probably play a greater role in long-term climate change than previously thought.

Leftist loons and Socialist politicians will call BS on this article:

“Certainly you cannot possibly believe that a “large ball of fire in the sky” could be made to heat the Earth! That is something that a child would believe.

Everyone knows that driving your car to work (ewwww, how we HATE that four letter word) causes the Earth to heat up...unless there's a Pause....or cooling, but even still, it is the fault of fossil fuels!

Look at our complex graphs and computer models made by only the most scientific of Scientists. We on the Left hold the patent on Science, by the way, you right-wingers who discovered most of it have no say in anything concerning Science. We disqualify you, HA!

Facts are not part of our superior Socialist science! If something does not give more power to the government, take more money from taxpayers, or in someway harm a Christian or a Christian cause, then it is NOT science.

If our fellows in the Left have not voted that something is science, then it is not. It's as simple as that. By the way, you an the Right do not have a vote, we know it all and you know it!”

This is really important to understand if you want to understand climate changes..

This has far, far more impact upon climate change than CO2 emissions!

More data refuting anthropogenic globull warming but why do they cut it off in 2000 when we have more than another decade of data? Is it that hard to fill in the updates? Not doing so makes this look deceptive. Why do that? Most papers of this ilk do the same thing, they leave off obvious amounts of data.

Furthermore, why not add some useful data on temperature? Would that be so hard?

My husband’s go to retort to global warming/climate change idiots is: “explain the mini-ice age climate of the middle ages”

More sunspots means more solar magnetic field
More solar magnetic field means cosmic rays are blocked
Fewer cosmic rays means less cloud formation on Earth
Less cloud formation means more sunlight reaches Earth
More sunlight reaching earth means warmer Earth

Thus, more sunspots = warmer Earth
Conversely, less sunspots = cooler Earth

Look at the graph. The peak number of sunspots was low in 1970. The 70’s were especially cold. There was a large peak of sunspots in 1990. The 90’s were especially warm. The solar magnetic field in the past can be determined and it correlates well with long periods of cold and long warm periods.

We are expected to have an especially low peak number of sunspots in the present sunspot cycle. Expect some brutal winters

Yes. Mankind can pollute rivers and parts of oceans, but setting the Earth’s temperature is not something we can do.

Hang on...is this to say the sun,that huge yellow thing that creates as much energy in a second as 20 billion nuclear explosions,actually influences our climate?

Time to pass laws to ban driving automobiles on the sun. No airplanes or trains either. Forget coal fired power plants.

We must save the planet from global warming!

Fine and imprison anyone that would do such a thing.
