And it looks as though there's a growing "consensus" that the large glowing ball of fire our planet orbits just might exert major impact upon our climate:
A paper published today in Geophysical Research Letters finds that solar activity modulates the natural ocean oscillations the Pacific Decadal Oscillation [PDO] and the North Atlantic Oscillation [NAO]. These ocean oscillations, in turn, have large scale effects upon global climate.
Gollee, who'd a'ever thunk it? It's too bad we don't have any reputable, local "science writer" around here to set us straight on how silly it is to think that the sun causes global warming and global cooling (or, in the current terminology, "climate change").
