>> The solar wind doesn’t cause warming. It consists of ions (electrically charged particles from the Sun). However, the 11-year solar cycle may very well influence Earth’s climate via its ability to (magnetically) repel incoming galactic cosmic rays. GCRs are much higher energy charged particles which come from outside the solar system. They are believed by some scientists to assist in the formation of thick low cumulus clouds, the type that *block* sunlight and help keep the planet cool. When the sunspot cycle is near a peak, less GCRs are able to reach Earth (creating these ‘cooling clouds’) and temps rise...naturally. <<

No but the Solar Wind is blowing CO2 from Earth’s atmosphere out into space near Mars where it collects and contributes to Martian Warming. CO2 is to blame here obviously...

My post was sarcastic of course... I did get a Green peace dummy to agree with me on this premise showing how little their rank and file know about how science works!

I realized the pic was a joke from the beginning. But I thought there was also the implication that the solar wind was to blame for warming the Earth (as opposed to CO2 as the gorebull warming alarmists falsely claim). Because there is little if any evidence that either causes warming.
