Even if the current solar lull is the beginning of a prolonged quiet, the scientists say, the star's effects on climate will pale in contrast with the influence of human-made greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2).
"I think you have to bear in mind that the CO2 is a good 50 to 60 percent higher than normal, whereas the decline in solar output is a few hundredths of one percent down," Lockwood said. "I think that helps keep it in perspective."
Why would I want to 'refute' any of that?
From the article:
"In general, recent research has been building a case that the sun has a slightly bigger influence on Earth's climate than most theories have predicted."
"There are many uncertainties," said Jose Abreu, a doctoral candidate at the Swiss government's research institute Eawag. "
We don't know the sensitivity of the climate to changes in solar intensity. In my opinion, I wouldn't play with things I don't know."
Sounds to me that the science isn't nearly as settled as we were led to believe. Abreu flat out admits that "We don't know the sensitivity of the climate to changes in solar intensity." It's becoming quite apparent that our 'experts' have vastly underestimated the effects of solar activity and extraterrestrial factors on our climate. So here we have this potentially huge variable that we don't understand...it's getting harder and harder to ignore that elephant in the middle of the room.
In addition, this article doesn't even mention current research underway regarding a known direct correlation between cloud formation and solar winds interacting with cosmic rays that can be traced back thousands of years. The amount of cosmic rays that get through the solar wind determines how many clouds form. The amount of cloud cover determines how hot or cold the planet is. Current MMGW warming science does not address anything about this potential explanation for our climate changes. All experiments to date have reinforced this theory. Research and a large scale experiment at CERN is currently underway.
The "science is NOT settled" and you can quote me on that.
