Too bad it's the sun and not evil CO2, eh komrade?



NASA Plot Of Earth's Albedo Correlates Strongly With Global Temperature

This establishes a solar link via cosmic ray variations modulating earth's cloud cover.

23 Jun 2007



Look at the plot of earth's albedo in figure 4 at the following link .



http://bbso.njit.edu/Research/EarthS...2007_JASTP.pdf



The following can be observed



1.. Albedo decreased from 1985 and reached a minimum in 1998 (the hottest year)
This is consistent with the global warming trend over the same period.



2.. Albedo has been increasing since 1998, and this is consistent with the ten year
global cooling trend we are currently undergoing.


3.. This appears to be a complete explanation for our climatic varaitions over the last
40 years.


4.. This strongly suggests a solar link to global climate via cosmic ray variations
which modulate earth's cloud cover..


5.. There is no need for spurious explanations such as CO2.
