Here's one more thing to plug into the model:
The first results from the lab’s CLOUD (“Cosmics Leaving OUtdoor Droplets”) experiment published in Nature today confirm that cosmic rays spur the formation of clouds through ion-induced nucleation. ...
“[I]t is clear that the treatment of aerosol formation in climate models will need to be substantially revised, since all models assume that nucleation is caused by these vapours [sulphuric acid and ammonia] and water alone.
Wait. What?
Unsurprisingly, it’s a politically sensitive topic, as it provides support for a “heliocentric” rather than “anthropogenic” approach to climate change: the sun plays a large role in modulating the quantity of cosmic rays reaching the upper atmosphere of the Earth.
Fancy that. Perhaps we can put a hold on those trials for global warming "deniers" that some activists think is a good idea.
Oh, here's a new label. I discovered that too much of my "Landfill" category was global warming related.
UPDATE: The global warming mafia can deem the science settled all they want. But the truth is out there. Literally. If not the whole truth, then surely a large part of it.
Who could have imagined that the big hot thing up in the sky (and its more distant brothers) affected our climate?
