Newsbytes: Sun's Bizarre Activity May Trigger Another Little Ice Age (Or Not)
From the GWPF and Dr. Benny Peiser “Weakest Solar Cycle In Almost 200 Years” The sun is acting bizarrely and scientists have no idea why. Solar activity is in gradual…
Solar Activity – Past, Present, Future
Essay/paper by Dr. Leif Svalgaard Abstract As our civilization depends increasingly on space-borne assets and on a delicate and vulnerable earth-bound infrastructure, solar activity and its potential impact becomes of…
Paper demonstrates solar activity was at a grand maximum in the late 20th century
Solar activity measured by isotope proxies revealed the end of 20th century was the highest activity in 1200 years A 2010 paper (that I somehow missed) was recently highlighted by…
A response to Dr. Paul Bain's use of 'denier' in the scientific literature

Another day, another Central Asian precipitation study finds a link to solar activity
From Sun and Liu 2012: all of the deep solar minima of the last millennium (Oort, Wolf, Spörer, Maunder and Dalton) correspond to periods of drought in the Qilian Mountains…
Solar grand minima linked to cooling period in Europe
This is interesting. A quick cooling in Europe together with an increase in humidity and particularly in windiness was found to coincide with a long-term reduction in solar activity 2800…
From Schmidt 2005 to Miller 2012: the "not needed" excuse for omitted variable fraud
Guest post by Alec Rawls Miller et al. 2012 recently provided some pretty strong evidence for a solar driver of climate. “This is the first time anyone has clearly identified…
