Smoe feel the is a correlation between low solar activity and the appearance of La Nina’s.....If you google solar activity and La Nina you will see numerous articles on the subject. Conversely there are many articles about high solar activity and El Nino’s...

Solar Activity Controls El Niño and La Niña

Imagine that, the sun can affect the temperature of the earth! We should relay this important scientific discovery to Al Gore.
Makes sense that the suns output heats the oceans more or less and causes the natural cycle of El and La Nino’s. The correlation is pretty solid and the data is easily interpreted.
I suspect the magnetic field of the earth plays the biggest role in all of this. When the Sun is at its peak intensity the field is stretched and thinner which allows more solar radiation to hit the earth. More radiation equals more heat, thereby heating the oceans and releasing more water vapor into the atmosphere (a green house gas).
When the sun is relatively inactive the magnetic field is highly efficient at blocking solar radiation (much like trying to crush a un-cracked egg in your hand). This will naturally allow the earth to cool and the water vapor to settle on earth or evaporate, reducing the green house effect.
Given that CO2 accounts for .01% of the atmosphere it should be clear to everyone carbon credits is a bunch of horse pucky.
Way cool link! Do you mind if I nab it?
bump to your post
good scientific link! (El Nino/ La Nina cycles)
