The Solar –Climate RelationshipLower
At its simplest, the relationship between the solar magnetic field strength and the Earth’s climate is this: lower magnetic field strength means few sunspots, fewer sunspots means less solar wind, less solar wind means more galactic cosmic rays, more galactic cosmic rays means more low level cloud formation, more low level clouds means more sunlight reflected back into space, which in turn means less heating of the Earth’s surface and atmosphere.
Climate is not a random walk. If you can find a solar physicist to give you a prediction of solar activity, you can use that to make a prediction of climate. That prediction will be good for perhaps twenty-five years out.
