Lawrence Solomon: Solar activity is another sign pointing to Global Cooling
Lawrence Solomon, the author of The Deniers, points to the decrease in solar activity as yet another sign that we are heading towards a period of global cooling.
In yet another sign that the Earth could be heading in to a period of global cooling, NASA reports that the solar wind is now at a 50-year low, the lowest that NASA has seen. This change in solar activity, which began to occur about a decade ago, coincides with the end of the climb in global temperatures that had been underway for decades.

As a result of the diminished solar wind, cosmic rays are entering the Earth’s atmosphere in greater number. Research at the Danish National Space Institute shows that cosmic rays increase cloud cover on Earth, and that this cloud cover can have a cooling effect. Does this help explain why global temperatures plateaued a decade ago, and why they are now decreasing? Stay tuned!
Yes, I for one will definitely stay tuned and you should as well.
