It is often thought that the response to solar cycle is too weak at the surface to be detectable, and that even if a signal is claimed to have been…

Equatorial Plasma Bubbles Are Coming For Your GPS
The ionosphere plays a critical role in GPS systems by reflecting or distorting radio waves passing through it. Under certain conditions, your GPS might go haywire.
The Sun’s Little-Known 100-year “Gleissberg Cycle” is Waking Up
You’ve probably heard of the 11-year sunspot cycle. The Gleissberg Cycle is a slower modulation, which suppresses sunspot numbers every 80 to 100 years. For the past ~15 years, the…
Live at 1 p.m. Eastern: The Sun and Climate Change — The Climate Realism Show #151
But what about that big ball of gas in the sky? Why does it get short shrift when it comes to the causes of climate change?
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe to Make Closest Approach to the Sun on Christmas Eve
Parker planned to get more than seven times closer to the sun than previous spacecraft, hitting 430,000 mph (690,000 kph) at closest approach. It’s the fastest spacecraft ever built and…
The Battle of Climate Hypotheses: The Green-House Gas Forcer Vs. The Winter Gatekeeper Round 3: The Two Arctic Paradoxes
For the first time, the IPCC’s doctrine of CO2 as a ‘control knob’ in our climate faces a serious challenger in the form of a comprehensive hypothesis about what drives…
How we know the sun changes the climate. III: Theories
The Sun has a lot to say about future climate, but we are not listening. Long-term changes in solar activity are cyclical, and what adds to warming now will subtract…
The Green-House Gas Forcer vs. The Winter Gatekeeper Round 2: Climate Shifts – Are They for Real?
Yes, it is clear from the data and the literature that climate regimes and climate shifts driven by transport of heat and moisture are for real.
The Battle of The climate Hypotheses: The Green-House Gas Forcer vs. The Winter Gatekeeper Round 1.
The data and the science fully support the Winter Gate-keeper hypothesis in this respect.
How El Nino La Nina And The Sun Drive Climate Change!
You can recognize ignorant climate alarmists who try to dismiss the effects of ENSO falsely stating there is no net warming from ENSO, because it simply causes a back and…
How we know that the sun changes climate (II). The present
…controlling our emissions, which has become the main goal of the UN and the Western world, may not have much effect on future climate.
Major (and unusual) Solar Flare and CME
h/t Roy W. Spencer March is a peak month for auroras, and this should be a good one in the coming days. A strong X-class solar flare lasting 5 hours…
The challenges of trying to reconstruct changes in Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) since 1700: A response to Chatzistergos (2024)’s remake of Hoyt & Schatten (1993)
He seems to have created it as a parody of a TSI reconstruction. Instead, he argues that the scientific community should stick to using the SATIRE reconstructions of the MPS…
Solar Update January 2024
David Archibald Religious cults promise a wonderful future if only people would believe. The promise the global warming cult made is that we would see the end of snow, no…
Catastrophic and Frightening Solar Storms: Miyake Events
Miyake events are believed to be several orders of magnitude greater than the Carrington Event. It is not clear what causes the event. If a Miyake event equivalent to the…
Solving the Climate Puzzle: The Sun’s Surprising Role
The book provides a large body of evidence supporting that changes in the poleward transport of heat are one of the main ways in which the planet’s climate changes naturally.
DATA: THE SUN’S MAGNETIC POLES ARE VANISHING
Measurements by spacecraft and ground-based observatories agree that the sun’s north and south magnetic poles are rapidly weakening. This could lead to a complete reversal of the sun’s global magnetic…
Soon/Connollys: Challenges of the detection and attribution of global warming | Tom Nelson Pod #153
Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate.
Reply to erroneous claims by RealClimate.org on our research into the Sun’s role in climate change
Dr. Schmidt and the RealClimate team apparently do not want you to read our papers. They seem to be afraid that if you did, their claims on climate change would…
