A new study suggests that the variation of the cosmic ray flux during the solar cycle has little influence on the climate.
The uncertainty of science: A new study suggests that the variation of the cosmic ray flux during the solar cycle has little influence on the climate.
The study seems statistical in nature, which leaves me skeptical. Nonetheless, the link between cosmic rays and climate change remains tenuous, with only one study at CERN providing any evidence that cosmic rays might have an influence.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

I wouldn’t expect cosmic rays to interact enough with the atmosphere to have a significant effect.
Actually, the results from a CERN experiment suggest that cosmic rays might very well have a significant effect. Watch the video at the end of this post for details:
The link today suggests otherwise, however.
Let empirical evidence lead the way and keep your biases at bay. No need for consensus science when objective facts can inform.
It’s so pleasant to see how easily Robert can address a countervailing position to global warming without being threatened or discrediting it outright. If only that behavior was more evident in the main stream media’s scientific reporting.
