Sun Cools Off, Earth Cools Off

Imagine that?

This is from the latest WeGetIt.org Biblically-based environmental group:

For the first time in nearly 100 years an entire month has gone by without the sighting of a single sunspot. That could turn out highly significant for Earth's temperature.

Why?

Because sunspots correlate with both solar energy emission and solar magnetism. Solar energy affects Earth temperature directly. Solar magnetism affects it indirectly by affecting how much cosmic radiation enters Earth's atmosphere, which affects low-level cloudiness. Decreasing solar magnetism leads to increasing cloudiness, which leads to decreasing surface temperatures.

During the Maunder Minimum (very low sunspot activity about 1645 to 1715), temperatures fell so much the period has come to be called the Little Ice Age.



Thus, as the graph above indicates, solar influence on global climate dwarfs human influence through the emission of carbon dioxide. What the downturn in sunspots portends is global cooling.

This also helps explain why temperatures on Mars and other planets, which lack human influence, have changed in ways similar to changes on Earth.

Some conclusions are so simple, they escape the elites who are always trying to be the smartest guy in the room.
