| #1 Climate has continually varied in the past, and the causes are not well understood - especially on the 100 year timescale relevant for today’s climate change Strong evidence for solar-climate variability, but no established mechanism. A cosmic ray influence on clouds is a leading candidate. Excellent set of foils on historic climate variability, the effect of solar activity on the incidence of galactic cosmic rays on the earth, and the possible effect of cosmic rays on cloud formation. Followed by a discussion of the CLOUD experiment at CERN. Many graphs and photos. Rather large, over eight megabytes download. |
