A refreshing report.

The sun’s magnetic field may have a significant impact on weather and climatic parameters in Australia and other countries in the northern and southern hemispheres. According to a study in Geographical Research, the droughts are related to the solar magnetic phases and not the greenhouse effect.

And they got HOW MUCH to come up with this astounding fact?
Another crackpot who thinks the sun warms the Earth! Hasn’t he ever heard of SUV’s?
What do these idiots know?
Who do they think they are? Al Gore????
Well, I for one will not believe that unless Algore signs off and, we have a “consensus” of scientists agreeing.

Are you trying to say that the giant nuclear fireball in the sky, a million times the size of Earth just might have something to do with the weather?
That’s just crazy talk!
Bump!
And this SCIENCE magazine is just figuring that out?
This is pathetic.
That’s nothing. I heard that the Sun gives off heat energy as well. Who knew?
The SUN has an effect on climate? Who knew? Al Gore told me it was just Republicans and SUV’s.
How would the sun’s mag field affect climate or anything else on earth aside from magnetic compasses and shortwave radio?
The same way it creates the aurora borialis.
Er, no. This study really was a followup to the groundbreaking study that established the link between snow, getting a democrat in the white house, and cooler temperatures. 8<)
The Aurora seems to have no effect on weather.
I never claimed it did.

You mean QSUVs? (Quasi-Stellar Utility Vehicles)
One of several theories holds that a quiet, low magnetic activity sun (even when radiated HEAT energy remains about the same) yields a much lower magnetic field around the sun.
When the sun is HIGHER in magnetic activity - as it was between 1970 and 2005, it has a very HIGH shielding level. Thus, each planet is swinging in a higher level magnetic field, gets much more shielding from cosmic radiation, has many (tens of billions/second) fewer atmosphere-cosmic ray interactions in every cubic meter of air, has many billions FEWER minute collision particle tracks that cause cloud nuclei foramtoion, and this causes much more “clear” atmosphere days than in normal solar activity.
More clear days? More time for infrared radiation from the sun to heat things on the planet.
When solar activity is very low - as it is NOW with 2008 having a century's LOW number of sunspots - there is very little shielding. Many tens of billions MORE cloud cosmic ray interactions. Many more cloud nuclei forming, and thus many more days of high cloud levels. More energy is reflected AWAY from the atmosphere by the top of the clouds (which cools things off) and more radiation is reflected back from the upper atmosphere into the mid and lower air masses (which slightly heats things up.)
Net - when solar activity is low? VERY low temperatures - as we are seeing now.
