Another study shows that a lack of sunspots assures colder weather.

Wow, the sun effects are weather and temperatures. I mean who knew. Bwahahahaha. Calling Algore.

So variations in the Sun's radiant energy warms or cools the Earth.... Hmmm! You need a PHD to know those things!

You mean the sun affects the weather?
I thought the only person who that that was that crackpot nutcase Fred Thompson back in the last election.
/s
Seriously, Fred did run an internet ad back in 2008 poking fun at the idea that the sun DOESN’T affect the weather.

But the Global Warming Hoax prognosticators are now saying that Sun activity has nothing to do with our weather here and cutting CO2 needs to continue.
To: ConservativeMind
Interesting. We have known this for 150 years. Guess it took a long time for them to catch up to high school level science.
Sheesh......

Clear link between solar activity and winter weather revealed
Why we need experts: To spend years validating what most people instinctively know.

“...low solar activity can contribute to cold winters in the UK, northern Europe and parts of America. But high activity from the sun has the opposite effect...”
Astounding!
Not.

It seems that in years of low UV activity, unusually cold air forms over the tropics in the stratosphere, about 50 kilometres up. This is balanced by a more easterly flow of air over the mid latitudes – a pattern which then makes its way down to the Earth's surface, bringing easterly winds and cold winters to northern Europe. But when solar activity is higher than usual – around the peak of the 11-year solar cycle – the opposite happens: strong westerly winds bring warm air and so milder winters to Europe. The upper-atmosphere's Ozone Layer absorbs much of the UV the sun sends us. In the process, the UV heats the upper atmosphere.

New study shows we now produce the dumbest scientist since the dark ages.
Where have the knuckleheads been hiding their heads? The bigger 600 year solar cycle is the more dangerous cycle. It is one that causes famine and ice covered farm lands. Add in some extra volcanic activity and we have real trouble.
I proposed a theory to a friend that maybe the solar and volcanic cycles could be the result of some cyclic galactic event. He thought I had cracked, but it is as good as any theory at this point.
Remember you heard it here first! Doug’s Theory! :-)

I think they may be on to something. I’ve noticed that every time the sun moves to the other side of the equator it becomes winter.

This causes a redistribution of heat – so while Europe and the US may be cooler, Canada and the Mediterranean will be warmer, and there is little direct impact on global temperatures You can lead a climate changer to tea, but you cannot make them drink. There is no such think as a global temperature. All temperatures are local approximations for the heat content of the atmosphere. Therefore, you know nothing by studying and analyzing global temperatures. After drinking that tea, ye shall be free.

Colder in some places. Lack of solar activity, specifically ultraviolet leads to cooling of portions of the stratosphere. The stratosphere also responds to weather in the troposphere, a stronger influence. Somewhere in the interaction between the troposphere and stratosphere we get more blocking and more storms, cold outbreaks, etc. The low solar does not cool the earth as a whole (not low enough, doesn’t affect the troposphere much, etc) But what could happen is that the increased blocking and storms cool the earth as a whole.

The Sun affects our weather? Amazing.
Next they’ll discover that sunspots affect radio waves (yeah, I know).
