Solving the Climate Puzzle: The Sun’s Surprising Role
The book provides a large body of evidence supporting that changes in the poleward transport of heat are one of the main ways in which the planet’s climate changes naturally.
DATA: THE SUN’S MAGNETIC POLES ARE VANISHING
Measurements by spacecraft and ground-based observatories agree that the sun’s north and south magnetic poles are rapidly weakening. This could lead to a complete reversal of the sun’s global magnetic…
Soon/Connollys: Challenges of the detection and attribution of global warming | Tom Nelson Pod #153
Dr. Willie Soon, an astrophysicist and geoscientist, is a leading authority on the relationship between solar phenomena and global climate.
Reply to erroneous claims by RealClimate.org on our research into the Sun’s role in climate change
Dr. Schmidt and the RealClimate team apparently do not want you to read our papers. They seem to be afraid that if you did, their claims on climate change would…
Neptune’s Disappearing Clouds Linked to the Solar Cycle
This long set of observations shows that the number of clouds grows increasingly following a peak in the solar cycle – where the Sun’s level of activity rhythmically rises and…
Global Societal Crises of the 17th Century: Perspectives from Research on Sun-Earth Relations
Willie Soon, PhD presents at the 41st Annual Meeting of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness, July 8, 2023.
The Sun in June 2023
When the PDO finally turns negative it will hyper-accelerate the solar-driven cooling evident from 2016.
The Next Great Total Solar Eclipse on US Soil is Now Just Under a Year Away…Monday, April 8th, 2024
If you missed the 2017 total solar eclipse or it turned out to be cloudy in your particular area then there will be another opportunity in just under a year…
It is Time to Bury the Grand Solar Minimum Myth
This post has been translated to German by Christian Freuer here. By Javier Vinós Fourteen years ago, a new climate myth was born. A grand solar minimum (GSM) was in…
Secrets of Sunspots and Solar Magnetic Fields Investigated in NASA Supercomputing Simulations
New results based on simulations out of NASA’s Advanced Supercomputing facility at NASA’s Ames Research Center in California’s Silicon Valley are painting a more complete picture of one of the…
Willie Soon on the Tom Nelson Podcast
This CO2 stuff is…pure delusion. You cannot find any signature of that.
Surface Temperature Response to Solar EMR at Top of the Atmosphere
It has been demonstrated that land and ocean surface temperature are highly correlated to solar EMR in mid and higher latitudes; making due allowance for different thermal inertia of land…
New Sunspot may Hurl Dangerous Solar Flare at Earth
SpaceWeather reports: One of the biggest sunspots in years has just rotated over the sun’s northeastern limb. AR3112 has a mixed-polarity magnetic field that harbors energy for strong X-class solar…
The Sun-Climate Effect: The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (III). Meridional transport
Contrary to what could be naively expected, the Earth is warmest just after the June’s solstice, when it is farthest from the sun, and coldest just after the December’s solstice,…
The Sun-Climate Effect: The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (II). Solar activity unexplained/ignored effects on climate
by Javier Vinós & Andy May “The complicated pattern of sun-weather relationships undoubtedly needs much further clarification, but progress in this field will be hindered if the view prevails that…
The Sun-Climate Effect: The Winter Gatekeeper Hypothesis (I). The search for a solar signal
by Javier Vinós & Andy May “Probably no subfield of meteorology has had as much effort devoted to it as the effects of solar variability on weather and climate. And…
Novel NASA Instrument Sets Sights on Earth-bound Solar Radiation
A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe…
Centennial Total Solar Irradiance Variation
We have obtained a new TSI reconstruction from 1700 to 2020.
“Looking at the Sun” – Climate Discussion Nexus interviews CERES co-team leader, Dr. Ronan Connolly
CDN have now published their 20 minute “explainer” video including extracts from this interview and discussion of some of CERES’ recent scientific research.
The Solar Storm That Nearly Sparked A Nuclear Confrontation
On May 23rd, 1967, a solar storm took place that was so powerful, it jammed radar and radio communications in polar regions and the US Air Force actually began to…
