Thus if the two mid latitude jets move equatorward at the same time as the ITCZ moves closer to the equator the combined effect
on global albedo and the amount of solar energy able to penetrate the oceans will be substantial and would dwarf the other proposed effects
on albedo from changes in cosmic ray intensity generating changes in cloud totals as per Svensmark and from suggested changes caused in upper cloud quantities by changes in
atmospheric chemistry involving ozone which various other
climate sceptics propose.
