Dear Jason, 'Note the clear lack of a correlation between cosmic ray levels and temperature. In fact, cosmic ray levels were at their lowest about 2000 years ago, roughly the same time that globals temperatures were peaking. This really should settle the debate, as it clearly illustrates that cosmic ray levels are not a significant driver in global temperatures.'
In fact less cosmic rays = less berylium 10 and fewer cloud nucleation sites = less cloud = higher temp. Cosmic rays by themselves don't make a hell of a lot of difference. You need to flip one of the graphs. If you do that the fit will look a lot better - except for the end bits? I would suggest you check your curve fitting. I don't want to initiate another ill-informed discussion on the merits of this theory - it is just science for God's sake. At any rate, simple correlation is of limited value for reasons some of which are expressed here: http://www.sciencefile.org/SciFile/component/content/article/7/153-a-complex-systems-metatheory-for-abrupt-climate-change- Cheers Robert On Mar 6, 1:50 am, Jason <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi everyone, > I joined this forum to get some feedback from you all about my blog > articles on the global warming debate.
