The last time the sun was this quiet, Earth experienced an ice age

"Wasn’t there also some large volcanic eruptions contributing to the cooling?"

Volcanism seems to be inversely correlated with the sunspot cycle; as the sunspots decline, volcanic activity increases. The sulfur aerosols from the eruptions intensify the cooling effect further.

Many thanks for those links. They don't put me to sleep -- they energize me! I haven't had many truly original thoughts in my life but the likely linkage of cosmic rays and human evolutionary mutations hit me like a lightning bolt when I was a college freshman studying geology. I'm really glad to hear someone is actually working on the theory.

The work of the Japanese scientist is a breath of fresh air. It lends authoritative credibility to my own thinking about the scientific silliness of AGW. Is his book only available through the link you posted? I can't quite figure out how to order it since it's in German.

So let me get this straight, increases in CO2 levels in the atmosphere of a few parts per million has six times the impact on the earth’s climate than a decrease in solar output which has historically caused what was known as the Little Ice Age. I say balderdash.

Experts are the last people I would trust.

You're welcome

I have been very skeptical of chicken little "science" from

a very young age. My Mom's family was duped by a doomsday cult

when she was in her early teens so I was frequently warned

to watch for unscrupulous charlatans growing up.

Dr. Nakamura's kindle book was free with a sign up but

I bought it for .99¢ with some Amazon credit I had leftover

don't let the GermanJapanese scare you off most of it

is actually in English.

I think the light bulbs are coming on as this

the facade of fear comes crumbling down.
