Question: Does solar output, in the form of heat and/or light have any impact on the climate of Earth? Have they considered this mystery? Or is the science pretty settled on that?

The answer is no, only Internal Combustion Engines, ICE, the size of a mote, can affect climate, even though it would take 1.3 million Earths to fill up the Sun.........................

The Earth was not the center of the universe, but orbited the sun. But, but, but ... until Copernicus it was 'settled science' the sun orbited the earth... Not only that but a 'vote of the elites' at the time would show Copernicus stood alone and was WRONG... Take that John Kerry... science is not a 'who gets the most votes' profession.

I thought they were going to go at night to avoid the heat.

Really? Water vapor is hardly considered in the models...but the suns photon energy is 164 W/M2, unfortunately thats all thats really been measured. We dont know the true effects of solar wind or lack there of.

Question: Does solar output, in the form of heat and/or light have any impact on the climate of Earth? Can't see how it would. I do think, however, they will find the sun is made of SUVs.

Seems like the solar wind might tweak the atmosphere. The results of it can be seen in the visible spectrum. Photon radiation definitely heats the planet. However, it is unknown to what extent. And heat, IR, is only a narrow band of the broader Sun spectrum.

The Chinese say (with data collected and studies) that there is a solar ‘cycle’ that has influence over various pieces and parts of the climate. At least one Chinese PhD type....has suggested that there might be multiple ‘cycles’, and that each might reflect in one fashion, and another in a different fashion. If he was right, then it’s serious chaos, and a zero on trying to forecast how climate might change (for warm, cold or carbon-business).
