Cosmic Rays, Clouds and Climate (Part 2)

November 3 2008



THERE is a theory that the earth's climate is influenced by cosmic rays that
penetrate our atmosphere from outer space. In particular it is thought
cosmic rays influence the production of cloud condensation nuclei with
periods of higher cosmic rays penetration associated with more cloudiness.
The power of what is known as the solar wind, the magnetic force associated
with the sun, is thought to influence the extent to which these high-energy
charged particles composed of protons, electrons, and ionized nuclei reach
earth.



The theory has been based to a large extent on correlations between climate
and sunspot cycles. There is now a research effort to establish a
physically-plausible link between cosmic rays, clouds and climate including
through laboratory experiments in clouding at the Cern Cloud Facility in,
Geneva, Switzerland. The theory and the experiments are explained in
'Cosmic Rays and Climate' by Jasper Kirkby, Surveys in Geophysics, Volume
28, pages 333-375.



I know of no equivalent research effort looking at establishing a causal
link between carbon dioxide and climate.



This paper by Dr Kirby was first discussed here in a blog post by Paul Biggs
on May 21 this year. I've only just properly discovered it - and thought it
so good you should read about it a second time. I posted 'Cosmic Rays,
Clouds and Climate (Part 1)' on April 13, 2008.

They don't dare try establishing a causal link between carbon dioxide
and climate experimentally because they would prove themselves
WRONG

You don't know much about the subject, then.

So, if I mention Herschel, are you going to say he thought beings
lived on the sun?

3/4rs of climate science has a "very low level of scientific
understanding". says the IPCC.

And the science is settled?

How do you explain such a contradiction?

There is none. The second statement refers to the existence of AGW, which
is a proven fact.

Uh, research is supposed to see if there is a link, not to establish
one. That says the researchers have already made up their minds that
there is a link. That's not how one is supposed to do science!
**************************************************


Absolutely!
This reminds me of the IPCC making up its mind that CO2 causes warming and
cherrypicking data to suit.

Put the mouse cursor over the link I provided and click the left mouse
bution.

Did you manage that Odourous? If not, please reply staing as much and
I will try to help you.

So AGW just refers to the ability of CO2 to heat the earth, and that
much is settled, but how much heat, how effective it is in the face of
the other factors affecting climate and how it affects the climate in
toptal have a "very low level of scientific understanding"?

Is that case Odourous?
