My own thought is that there is an electromagnetic effect related the the sun’s magnetic field. In current time, we have measurements showing that the sun’s magnetic field has DOUBLED in historic time. How does that doubling effect the earth??

Flip that: The earth’s magnetic poles - possibly/probably beginning a switch of north pole - south pole directions - is rapidly decreasing since the early 1800’s, and is rapidly moving across the Ar tic towards Siberia by several hundreds of miles. Well away from its historic position in south Hudson Bay. Previous movements in recorded decades have only been slow circles across a few dozen miles.

Change magnetic field intensity and you see a tremendous increase in cosmic ray reception (regardless of cosmic ray source intensity.) Also, you see the result - as you pointed out - in increased solar reception. Lower mag fields = less shielding = more solar reception.

Regardless of sunspot activity - which is also increasing!

"Change magnetic field intensity and you see a tremendous increase in cosmic ray reception (regardless of cosmic ray source intensity.) Also, you see the result - as you pointed out - in increased solar reception. Lower mag fields = less shielding = more solar reception."

I thought it was the other way around?? More cosmic ray influx = more atmospheric ionization = more nucleation sites for water drops = increased cloud cover in the stratosphere = increased albedo = cooling??

At any rate, at least this mechanism is actually being "thought about" as being yet another variable in the "global-warming/global cooling" science. The possible electromagnetic effect I'm curious about isn't even at THAT stage. I can find exactly ZERO information that it has even occurred to anyone as a possibility.

Increasing?? On what time scale? Solar cycle 23 was less than solar cycle 22. And solar cycle 23 doesn't seem to want to end, and cycle 24 doesn't seem to want to start. The longer cycle 23 drags out, many scientists agree that such a delay portends a lower than normal cycle 24.

Do you have other information?
