Connection between cosmic rays, clouds and radiation budget is reaffirmed…CO2 role thus has to be much smaller. There have been a flurry of recently published studies on radiative forcing and its variation due to cloud changes. The latest is a new study published in the journal Nature. Climate scientists Dr. Henrik Svensmark and colleagues have found […]

Hailed as ‘the last piece of the puzzle’ in codifying our understanding of the mechanism(s) that cause climate changes, scientists are increasingly turning to Sun-modulated cosmic ray flux and cloud cover variations as the explanation for decadal- and centennial-scale global warming and cooling. In other words, climate changes are increasingly being attributed to natural variability, […]

Translated/edited from wobleibtdieerderwaermung.de. A huge hole in the magnetically hot corona of the sun in the coming weeks will lead to a powerful solar wind and initiate hefty polar lights in the earth’s magnetic field. This will be a brief pause in the solar activity slumber that has taken hold over the past year and […]

By Ed Caryl Henrik Svensmark wrote the book on cosmic rays, their possible effect on clouds, and thus effect on climate, as well as numerous papers on the subject. The CERN CLOUD experiment has looked for proof of the mechanism. A recent paper by Spencer and Braswell has looked at the relationship between clouds and temperature […]

On Cosmic Rays and Clouds By Ed Caryl There have been several papers and articles recently about Svensmark’s theory that claim cosmic rays produce cloud nuclei, which in turn produce clouds that affect the Earth’s climate. My recent article showed the relationship between atmospheric transmission, the Earth’s albedo, and temperature. Photo by Krish Dulal. If […]

A Brazilian team of scientists led by Pabulo Henrique Rampelotto recently published in the Journal of Atmospheric and Solar Terrestrial Physics a paper on precipitation and temperature patterns in Santa Maria in Southern Brazil. It’s the sun! What follows are excerpts from “Die kalte Sonne“ website. Brazilian agriculture and climate. Public domain by its author, […]

??? =========================================== UPDATE: Oh wait! Here’s something: http://www.focus.de/wissen/wissenschaft/wissenschafts-dossiers/tid-23443/neue-studie-bestaerkt-klimaskeptiker-die-sonne-unter-verdacht_aid_658937.html I need to be more patient with Germans. They have a habit of thinking about things from different angles before shooting off. That’s good of course. Will write more about the FOCUS report later today.

Per a new study, million-year variations in cosmic rays (CR) modulating cloud cover, which, in turn, drives variations in incident solar radiation on short- and long-term timescales, is the dominant cause of million-year climate variations, explaining all 7 Ice Age epochs over the Phanerozoic. In contrast, declining CO2 and rising solar luminosity over the last […]

The Sun in April 2019 By Prof. Fritz Vahrenholt and Frank Bosse (German text translated/edited by P. Gosselin) If we speak of an average of the last 23 cycles in the months of the minimum, our only significant energy source at the center of the solar system was below average active last month as well. […]

Scientific Papers Predict Cooling In Coming Decades A new scientific paper authored by seven scientists affiliated with the Russian Academy of Sciences was just published in the scientific journal Bulletin of the Russian Academy of Sciences: Physics. The scientists dismiss both “greenhouse gases” and variations in the Sun’s irradiance as significant climate drivers, and instead […]

Looking at the English-language media, one might be led to think that the latest CERN experimental results show that trees alone dominate cloud formation, by supplying the necessary cloud seeding medium. Little reference is made to cosmic rays acting as the cloud formation modulator, initiating the cloud seeding process, as hypothesized by Henrik Svensmark. Lubos […]

Solar Influence On Climate Scafetta, 2021 This result implies that the CMIP5 models are missing important climatic mechanisms responsible for a large millennial oscillation that has been found throughout the Holocene and has been linked to a millennial solar oscillation [2,4,17,72,90,105]. The argument can be, therefore, extended to other decadal, multidecadal, and secular solar oscillations […]
