Completely the wrong area of focus when it comes to why/how the climate changes.
It has to do with weak geo/solar magnetic fields which promote a cascade of secondary effects which effect the climate.
This makes the most sense because the sun drives the climate and the geo magnetic field can enhance or diminish given solar effects depending on if it is in phase or out of phase with solar.
The galactic cosmic ray issue is not just about if it may cause an increase in clouds but how it may contribute to an increase in major volcanic activity which would have major climatic due to those items effecting albedo.
So much time is being spent on the fallacy of Green House Gases and global warming, despite so much that Anthropogenic Global Warming theory has called for never happening, and evidence when looking back through climatic history that lends next to no support for this theory while evidence is very strong for a solar involved connection.
1. The climate is still not unique as of today. Well within the bounds of natural variability. 2. The POSITIVE feedback between CO2 and WATER VAPOR which is suppose to result in a lower tropospheric hotspot has not materialized. A BIG ONE. 3. The Atlantic Oscillation /NAO have not become increasingly positive in other word the atmospheric circulation if anything is less zonal the opposite of what AGW theory called for. 4. I see no evidence of Outgoing Longwave Radiation lessening. 5. CO2 has been lower then presently while global temperatures have been higher over the past 10000 years. 6, As CO2 is added it’s effects lessen due to the saturation point being reached and again without the positive feedback from water vapor I do not see how the temperature rises as a result of adding more CO2 into the atmosphere. 7. CO2 and WATER VAPOR are influenced by the environment in other words as the oceans go so do hey despite man’s contribution which is fractional when compared to natural processes. 8. CO2 in the past has ALWAYS followed the temperature never has lead it.
Salvatore, this I don’t understand: “The galactic cosmic ray issue is not just about if it may cause an increase in clouds but how it may contribute to an increase in major volcanic activity…” I’m not aware of any physical mechanism of controlling Earth Radiative Forcing volcano by ERF solar.
Galactic Cosmic Rays do produce indeed more condensation kernels in the chamber experiments BUT this does not influences clouds significantly AFAIK… from the same reason described in the article: Clouds are unfazed by haze!
Frank this interview should shed light on what you questioned. I think it is correct . Very interesting interview on the geo magnetic field and the implications associated with it.
Ionization may affect other fluids than just the atmosphere. Magma, being more dense, may be affected by very high energy rays. It would affect chemistry and response to magnetic field.
