So, the slight increase in solar output isn’t enough to make a difference?
Here’s my perspective.
It’s going to be considerably colder here in Wasilla 3 months from now. The sun is going to be in the same spot, the earth is going to be in the same orbit, it’s the same planet fer heavens sake, but I’ll be shoveling snow while some joker in cabo is sipping Coronas on the beach.Granted, I’ll be seeing a lot less of the sun, but by the logic of the warm earthers, there shouldn’t be a difference, right?
Sort of, but not really.
The Earth's orbit around the sun is variable.
The solar system's position in space vis a vis the galactic plane is variable.
The solar system's position in the galaxy relative to the spiral arms of the galaxy is variable.
The main factors may be the solar magnetic field strength (directly related to sunspots) and the cosmic ray count in the part of the galaxy we are tranversing. The Earth's orbit around the sun may have little effect on climate change compared to how many cosmic rays make it through the solar magnetic shielding.
