The Big Flaming Hot Thing in the Sky

Yes that big flaming hot thing that's about 93 million miles away, it seems that , after all, it does have a major effect on the Earth's climate. To the layman that might have appeared to be a self-evident fact but the IPCC and the general climate community have always denied that variations in solar output could have any measurable effect on the climate.

Henrik Svensmark, of the Danish Space Research institute, performed a cloud chamber experiment which showed that an increase in cosmic rays did indeed result in more cloud formation. Cosmic rays intensity is affected by the Solar Wind and the Solar Wind expands when the Sun is more active, this in turn leads to more clouds on Earth and a cooler climate. The reverse is also true. These cycles are approx 1500 years and correspond very well to the long range temperature cycles on Earth

At the time his findings were dismissed but CERN agreed to perform a large scale version of his experiment which would prove or disprove his theory. The results of that experiment are about to be released and CERN's boss, Rolf-Dieter Heuer has forbidden is scientists from interpreting the data. He would hardly be likely to do this if the findings did not support Svensmark's theory.

Svensmark's theory was also fully confirmed last year by an experiment carried out by the Denmark's Univerity of Aarhus. So it appears that the problem with the car may be the engine (The Sun) and not the rear offside wheel nut (C02).
