It looks like sun spots decrease did cause the most recent little ice age25-02-2019 16:02 | |
Tai Hai Chen★★★★☆ (1085) |
Less sun spots, less magnetic flux, weaker polar jet stream, colder winter, colder winter, cooler summer, ice build up in norther hemisphere, more albedo, negative temperature feedback. And if you look at the weakening polar jet stream due to diminishing sun spots happening right now, you get the idea what is going to cause the next little ice age which should start in about 10 to 20 years. We are getting record cold temperatures in northern hemisphere due to stronger polar vortex.

The 'vortex' is normal. Ice ages occur due to changes in the eccentricity of Earth's orbit. We aren't due for another one for at least 40,000 years. We are currently moving toward a more circular orbit. We should get there in about 2000 years.

Tai Hai Chen wrote: While the sunspots do cause increased solar activity and a general increase in the emission of the sun this is not a large effect. The changes in climate can be explained entirely by the sunspot activity combined with the Milankovitch Cycles. The orbit of the Earth around the Sun is not perfectly round. And the orbit of the Moon can get in the way of the Sun's emissions. Also there is a tilt of the axis of the Earth that can place the Northern or the Southern hemispheres pointed more directly at the sun. All of these things combine to cause most of the climate variations that are totally secondary to the cloud patterns which are caused by the moisture content of the atmosphere on this water planet. http://www.drroyspencer.com/research-articles/global-warming-as-a-natural-response/ |
