You wouldn't think that the sun could make that HUGE of an impact on temperature at all... especially when you look at a size comparison of the planets and sun:
No... I can't see how the sun might cause some heating can you?
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.
Excellent article on that here, with comments by Dr. Peter Corbyn (meteorologist), and Professor Nir Shaviv, (an astrophysicist), and Professor Ian Clark (Department of Earth Science-University of Ottawa):
“In 1991, a senior scientist of the Danish Meteorological Institute has traced back records and graphed temperature and solar activity through the measure of amount of sunspots. And the solar activity showed a strong correlation with temperature where solar activity dropped in 1940 and started rising again in 1970.
Although in this study, they have thought this may be a coincidence, thus further study was done looking back 400 years and the same results have appeared....”
“The theory of cloud formation due to cosmic rays where cosmic rays hit the ocean surface causing much water vapor in the air contributing to the amount of clouds. This brought about another theory where when there were more sunspots, there were less cosmic rays. And with more cosmic rays, there were less sunspots.
Since sunspots give rise to strong burst of electromagnetic waves and solar wind, it is perceived that these solar winds are able to divert cosmic rays which usually come from exploded super nova.”
