The galactic cosmic ray (GCR) warming hypothesis is based on the premise that GCRs can «seed» clouds, and clouds reflect sunilight.

On the possibility of a changing cloud cover «forcing» global warming in recent times (assuming we can just ignore the CO2 physics and current literature on feedbacks, since I don't see a contradiction between an internal radiative forcing and positive feedbacks), one would have to explain a few things, like why the diurnal temperature gradient would decrease with a planet being warmed by decreased albedo... why the stratosphere should cool... why winters should warm faster than summers... essentially the same questions that come with the cosmic ray hypothesiOn the possibility of a changing cloud cover «forcing» global warming in recent times (assuming we can just ignore the CO2 physics and current literature on feedbacks, since I don't see a contradiction between an internal radiative forcing and positive feedbacks), one would have to explain a few things, like why the diurnal temperature gradient would decrease with a planet being warmed by decreased albedo... why the stratosphere should cool... why winters should warm faster than summers... essentially the same questions that come with the cosmic ray hypothesion feedbacks, since I don't see a contradiction between an internal radiative forcing and positive feedbacks), one would have to explain a few things, like why the diurnal temperature gradient would decrease with a planet being warmed by decreased albedo... why the stratosphere should cool... why winters should warm faster than summers... essentially the same questions that come with the cosmic ray hypothesis.

Correlations such as the cosmic - ray / cloud hypothesis are based on, are merely suggestive of such physics (although they may simply reflect a joint correlation to a third independent factor).

There have been many studies aiming to test this hypothesis since AR4, 50 which fall in two categories: i) studies that seek to establish a causal relationship between cosmic rays and 51 aerosols / clouds by looking at correlations between the two quantities on timescales of days to decades, and 52 ii) studies that test through observations or modelling one of the physical mechanisms that have been put 53 forward.

Dear Nir Shaviv, I would be glad to receive your comment about the recent paper from Andrew C. Overholt et al 2009 ApJ 705 L101 - L103 doi: 10.1088 / 0004 - 637X / 705 / 2 / L101 TESTING THE LINK BETWEEN TERRESTRIAL CLIMATE CHANGE AND GALA Does it mean - the spiral arm mechanism you suggest does nt fit - can some other mechanism explain your measurements and hypothesis - does this have an impact on the cosmic ray climate theory or not If we talk about the paradox of the faint young sun, imho its still an issue that any mechanism solving the problem of the major ice ages occuring each 140 million years in the last billion, does nt work for the first 3 billion years.

The CLOUD project at the European Center for Nuclear Research is probing the Svensmark - Shaviv hypothesis on the role of cosmic rays modulated by the solar magnetic field on the low cloud coverage; the first and encouraging results have been published in Nature.
