"Svensmark's theory, which pitted him against today's mainstream theorists who claim carbon dioxide (CO2) is responsible for global warming, involved a link between the earth's magnetic field and climate, since that field helps regulate the number of GCR particles that reach the earth's atmosphere."

I just realized they made a mistake here. Svensmark's theory involves the SUN's magnetic field, not the Earth's. It has to do with the sunspot cycle. However, it looks like the basic mechanism is more or less the same. See my earlier post above for more info on this.

That is, unless he has newer modified theory? But I doubt it because they describe it as being from 1998 or so. This would mean they are wrong then. In any case, it is definitely the same concept: magnetic fields repelling cloud-producing cosmic rays from space.
