Solar Variations Controversy
The impact of solar variations on the climate is uncertain and subject to substantial debate. However, you would not infer from the IPCC assessment reports that there is debate or…
Solar Update September, 2021
This figure also shows a flat trend through the 1970s cooling period followed by a 40 year long downtrend in activity. Whatever solar processes caused the Modern Warm Period and…
Warming and Drying part 2 Natural Cycles, Climate see-saws and failed models
Natural cycles like the Madden Julian Oscillation and the El Nino Southern Oscillation cause regions of rising moist air and precipitation varying with regions of sinking cloudless dry air that…
Cooling In The Pipeline? Low Solar Activity, Wild Fire Smoke, La Niña All Setting Up A Cooled 2022?
Here are 3 reasons why global surface temperatures will probably see continued cooling over the coming year.
Scientists use AI to predict sunspot cycles
For the first time, scientists have used artificial intelligence not only to predict sunspots but also to correct the incomplete record of past sunspot activity.
Dangerously Stupid Science: Solar Geoengineering
Modelers too often eschew the bountiful evidence of real natural climate change when it competes with their CO2‑driven models. They downplay the myriad of critical factors that have caused change…
New study ties solar variability to the onset of decadal La Nina events
The paper does not delve into what physical connection between the Sun and Earth could be responsible for the correlation, but the authors note that there are several possibilities that…
How many km2 of solar panels in Spain and how much battery backup would it take to power Germany
Unless the safety, space, environmental, raw material, and energy considerations can be overcome, PV-Spain is a poor choice for solving Germany’s, Europe’s, or the global power dilemma. Alone the material…
No Mention Of CO2: New Study Shows African Climate Variability Strongly Linked To Natural Cycles
A new study analyzes patterns of natural rainfall variability and can provide crucial assistance to African countries in seasonal rainfall forecasting for agriculture and protection against droughts & heavy rains.
Using Milankovitch Cycles to create high-resolution astrochronologies
The remarkable stability of the 405 thousand year cycle, which is modulated by Jupiter and Venus, makes it the Milankovitch Cycle of choice to construct astrochronologies.

Solar Cycle 25 has officially begun
Solar Cycle 25 is officially underway. NASA and NOAA made the announcement during a media teleconference earlier today. According to an international panel of experts, sunspot counts hit rock bottom…
Solar Plasma Temperature is plunging – should we worry?
The solar plasma temperature has plunged to a new low for the instrument record. Coincidentally or not, the temperature of the southern hemisphere has also plunged over the last couple…
More Solar Cyclomania
Previous investigative forays of this solar cyclomania sort have not ended well, so Charles asked me to investigate this one.
New ‘Sun clock’ reveals that solar activity turns off and on with surprising precision
NCAR & UCAR News Clock paints picture of a more orderly, predictable Sun Jun 10, 2020 – by Laura Snider Solar scientists have taken a mathematical technique used by Earth…

By Andy May This post is about an important new paper by Nicola Scafetta, Richard Willson, Jae Lee and Dong Wu (Scafetta, Willson and Lee, et al. 2019) on the…
Solar energy tracker powers down after 17 years
NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center After nearly two decades, the Sun has set for NASA’s SOlar Radiation and Climate Experiment (SORCE), a mission that continued and advanced the agency’s 40-year record…
Solar Update December 2019
David Archibald We are well into the Solar Cycle 24/25 minimum but 24 may not have ended yet. A solar cycle isn’t over until the heliospheric current sheet has flattened.…
Deep solar minimum on the verge of an historic milestone
