I believe there is what is called the double sunspot cycle - related to a
reversal of the sun's magnetic poles - of about 22-23 years. When some
climate data are analysed that can be quite a strong signal.

Quite right but bear in mind there are massive vagaries in the
chronology of the solar cycle.

And the only thing we know for sure about it is; there is no real direct
change in the level of insolation whatever the part of the solar cycle
the year is in.

So are you saying that the declination of the moon (which I know can be
more than 23 1/2, up to about 29 north and south), combines with the
sunspot cycle to produce hot/cold weather? If so, how? (And what type
of weather do various alignments produce?)

If I knew that I would be an honorary professor with essays in
encyclopeadias. And sunning myself in exotic locations in the company of
extra-ordinarily beautiful women, of dubious reputation.

The lunar nodal cycle has a length of 18.6 years and such a cycle length
(real or otherwise) has been detected in some climate data. I don't think
the causal mechanism has been worked out though.

There won't be either.

I believe that under ideal conditions this cycle can produce 3 observed
solar ecclipses at any one location over some 180 years. The reason
being that although the celestial dispositions take place as you say,
the longitudes of the earth over which they take place are different
each time.

As I have posted many, many times here and elsewhere it is the
longitudal positions that are the key to the whole thing. Everything
else at the moment is mere astrology.
