International and NASA solar scientists find their Total Solar Irradiance reconstruction extending to 1700 can “correlate well” with Earth’s global temperature records, including a positive net TSI trend during 1986-2008. A new Grand Solar Minimum is expected to commence during the 2030s. Surface climate records that have been uncorrupted by coastal (ocean-air)/urbanization biases suggest there […]

In the last few years, hundreds of peer-reviewed scientific papers have been published linking changes in solar activity to Earth’s climate (2016, 2017, 2018). The evidence for a robust Sun-Climate connection continues to accumulate in 2019. When it comes to the Sun’s influence on climate, one conclusion is certain: there is no widespread scientific agreement […]

Latest runs by the US NOAA weather agency show October and November being colder than normal. A negative NAO and low solar activity may be behind it. September is coming to an end and signs of autumn are everywhere. On everyone’s mind now is the question of what kind of winter to expect: bitter cold […]

Cat 5 Hurricane “Dorian” showed a development parallel to a solar storm lasting several days, which reached the earth from 27 August to 4 September 2019. By Snowfan The strength of particle radiation of a solar storm is given as a three-hour value in the Kp index, the daily value is called the A index. […]

How the sun impacts European climate By Die kalte Sonne (German text translated by P Gosselin) Images: NASA Observatory The gigantic nuclear fusion power plant of the sun reliably supplies the earth with energy. However, the IPCC’s current doctrine is that fluctuations in solar activity have no effect whatsoever on the Earth’s climate. Some climate […]

Amazing: A proxy study of Laos finds natural variability in hydrometeorology, a little Ice Age, and other substantial climate changes in the pre-greenhouse gas era. Who would have thought! (sarcasm) Hat-tip: NTZ reader Mary Brown. University of California Irvine researcher Jessica Wang and her team of researchers find plenty of natural climate variability in Southeast […]

Solar Activity in May 2019 By Frank Bosse and Fritz Vahrenholt (Translated/edited by P Gosselin) In May 2019 our sun was below-normal active again. The solar sunspot number (SSN) was 10.1, which is only 52% of the mean value in the evaluated cycle month no. 126 since the start of Cycle No. 24 began in […]

Scientists think they found what drives the solar cycles, which a huge body of scientific literature suggests greatly impacts the climate on earth. Sun follows planets’ rhythm New study corroborates the influence of planetary tidal forces on solar activity Images: NASA (public domain) One of the big questions in solar physics is why the Sun’s […]

Another new paper, which of course will be ignored by the government-funded IPCC because it contradicts claims CO2 drives climate, shows that natural factors dominated the earth’s climate variability. A team of scientists led by Jerome Goslin have published a paper titled Decadal variability of north-eastern Atlantic storminess at the mid-Holocene: New inferences from a […]

While it may seem counterintuitive, the expansion of wind and solar energy necessarily leads to the preservation and eventual growth in fossil fuel energy generation. This “paradox” hasn’t gone unnoticed. As good business practice, fossil fuel companies are now actively advocating for and investing in wind and solar technologies. In an analysis of energy return […]

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. […]

The Sun In February 2019 By Frank Bosse and Fritz Vahrenholt (Translated/edited by P Gosselin) The sun was also very sub-normally active in February. Although we are in the middle of the minimum, the sunspot number of 0.8 for the 123rd month into the cycle is very low. On 26 days of the month no […]
