The Center for Sun-Climate Research at the DNSC (Danish National Space Center) investigates the connection between variations in the intensity of cosmic rays and climatic changes on Earth. This field of research has been given the name 'cosmoclimatology'"..."Cosmic ray intensities – and therefore cloudiness – keep changing because the Sun's magnetic field varies in its ability to repel cosmic rays coming from the Galaxy, before they can reach the Earth." :

Here's an excellent book out on the subject titled "The Chilling Stars, 2nd Edition: A Cosmic View of Climate Change". It's written by one of the top scientists advancing the theory (Henrik Svensmark, of the above mentioned Danish National Space Center/DNSC).

"The authors explain their theory that sub-atomic particles from exploded stars have more effect on the climate than manmade CO2."

The NY Times took exception to the cosmic ray causing clouds theory the other day....see this thread:

Clouds’ Effect on Climate Change Is Last Bastion for Dissenters

Actually they didn't think clouds matter so neither does the sun having any impact on cosmic rays causing clouds matter.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/2879047/posts ~ kind of an update on the author's research ~ he's got his tight correlations now and lab work to back it all up.

Gonna' get right chilly ya hear
