Raimund Muscheler says that a steady high level of forcing can't cause warming
Guest post by Alec Rawls Solar warming and ocean equilibrium, part 4 I emailed Dr. Muscheler about the very strange remarks that were attributed to him in the recently released…
Svensmark’s Cosmic Jackpot: “Evidence of nearby supernovae affecting life on Earth”
Note: I’m going to leave this as a sticky “top post” for a day or so. new stories appear below. Nigel Calder asks us to republish this post for maximum…
IceCube Neutrino Observatory provides new insights into origin of cosmic rays
In 1912, Austrian physicist Victor Hess was using balloons to measure radiation levels in the Earth’s atmosphere. His innovative and meticulous work required him to travel with the balloon up…
Interesting presentations from the Nagoya Workshop on the Relationship between Solar Activity and Climate Changes
As the sun goes blank today, just 15 months from the expected Cycle 24 solar maximum, Dr. Leif Svalgaard writes in to advise me of the presentations made in the…
New paper links cosmic rays, clouds, and temperature
This new paper shows what appears to be a link between Forbush descreases and terrestrial temperature change shortly afterwards. It is a short time scale demonstration of what Svensmark is…

New study links cosmic rays to aerosols/cloud formation via solar magnetic activity modulation
From an Aarhus University press release: Scientists at Aarhus University (AU) and the National Space Institute (DTU Space) show that particles from space create cloud cover New input to the…
Update on the CERN CLOUD experiment
WUWT reader Max_B tips us off to this article and video. According to Nigel Calder’s Blog, CERN’s CLOUD experiment (testing Svensmarks’s cosmic-ray theory) shows a large enhancement of aerosol production…
Solar news: Forbush decrease in progress
The definition at Wikipedia: A Forbush decrease is a rapid decrease in the observed galactic cosmic ray intensity following a coronal mass ejection (CME). It occurs due to the magnetic…
New paper: Cosmic rays contribute 40% to global warming
From the Hindu Physicist U.R. Rao says carbon emission impact is lower than IPCC claim A key belief of climate science theology — that a reduction in carbon emissions will…
Cosmically, Heliospherically, and Terrestrially, FYI
Last night I decided to have a look at the Space Weather Prediction Center solar charts to see how the geoplanetary magnetic index (Ap) was doing, and decided since I…
