This is sure to schock some people. How can this possibly be?
(Science World) It turns out the sun’s activity may just influence natural climate change. For the first time, scientists have reconstructed the solar activity at the end of the last ice age, around 10,000 to 10,000 years ago, learning a bit more about the climate of that time.
I think they meant 20k-10k years ago.
“The study shows an unexpected link between solar activity and climate change,” said Raimund Muscheler, co-author of the new study, in a news release. “It shows both that changes in solar activity are nothing new and that solar activity influences the climate, especially on a regional level. Understanding these processes helps us to better forecast the climate in certain regions.”
Unexpected? By whom? Right. Warmists. The Sun has been the primary driver of climate and weather (long term weather creates climate) for 4.5 billion years. After the Sun, you have things like land changes (both natural and anthropogenic, some which causes localized changes, some global)*, life (animal and plants), volcanic activity, and, yes, greenhouse gases.
The researchers found that reduced solar activity could lead to colder winters in Northern Europe. Yet this same process could also lead to warmer winters in Greenland, with greater snowfall and more storms.
“The study also shows that the various solar processes need to be included in climate models in order to better predict future global and regional climate change,” said Muscheler.
Sadly, this is information that actually needs to be published, to offset the idiocy of Warmists, who blame every weather change on Mankind, particularly mankind’s use of fossil fuels. And, we all know what happens next: Warmists say “sure, of course the Sun changed things back then. But, now, it is totally different!!!!!”
The Hockey Schtick has details on another study that highlights the Sun being the primary driver.
*Land changes can have tremendous changes upon the weather. Clear cutting, agriculture, urbanization, buildings, roads, etc, can change the weather tremendously. So can things like tectonic activity. Mountains blocking air flow.
