No, mhaze, I didn't ask you to.
//Now he's asking me to go off and find papers that support his assertions. What a joke.// I simply pointed out that you were capable of doing so. (Sounds like someone's getting a little cranky.) //But STILL not a single concrete piece of evidence.// I offered to google it for you. Can I take it this is a 'Yes, please do'?

"Henrik Svensmark's ground-breaking theory, often termed cosmoclimatology, offers a compelling explanation for how solar winds influence Earth's climate through cosmic rays. Developed in the 1990s at the Danish National Space Center, it posits that variations in solar activity modulate the influx of galactic cosmic rays, which in turn affect cloud formation and global temperatures.
At its core, the mechanism is elegant: During periods of high solar activity, marked by increased sunspots and stronger solar winds, the Sun's magnetic field intensifies, deflecting more cosmic rays away from Earth. Fewer cosmic rays mean reduced ionization in the atmosphere, leading to fewer cloud condensation nuclei. This results in diminished low-level cloud cover, which normally reflects sunlight back to space. Consequently, more solar radiation reaches the surface, warming the planet. Conversely, low solar activity allows more cosmic rays to penetrate, promoting cloud formation and cooling effects, as seen during the Little Ice Age when solar minima coincided with colder global temperatures. Empirical evidence bolsters this view. Svensmark's analysis of satellite data revealed a strong correlation—up to 0.92—between cosmic ray flux and global cloud cover variations over solar cycles. Laboratory experiments, such as those at CERN's CLOUD project, have confirmed that cosmic rays enhance aerosol nucleation, supporting the cloud-seeding hypothesis. Historical reconstructions further align solar activity proxies with climate shifts, explaining warming trends since 1750 without over-relying on anthropogenic factors. This theory amplifies the Sun's role beyond mere irradiance changes, estimating solar forcing at 1.0–1.5 W/m˛ over cycles—far greater than IPCC estimates. It challenges conventional models by integrating astronomical phenomena with terrestrial climate, fostering a holistic understanding of natural variability. Svensmark's work invites re-evaluation of climate dynamics, emphasizing the Sun's profound, underappreciated influence on our world." http://www.thegwpf.org/content/uploads/2019/03/SvensmarkSolar2019-1.pdf Posted by mhaze, Monday, 2 March 2026 2:18:37 PM

As usual.
As expected
Now he's asking me to go off and find papers that support his assertions. What a joke.
