First, this effect (
influence on cloud formation by solar cycle modulation of cosmic rays) has been known for half a century.
Since this would also result in more particulate matter entering the atmosphere which in turn has
an influence on cloud formation, regional and global climate models might have to be adapted accordingly.

influence on climate,
cloud formation, and the fertilization of oceans and rain forests.
These oxidation products of compounds such as monoterpenes results in an increase of condensing vapours that can further form
cloud condensation nuclei over the continents and thus has an
influence on the
formation of
clouds.
Also facing elimination are the Orbiting Carbon Observatory 3, which would observe carbon dioxide flows; a mission to the space station that would have supported tests of a spectrometer intended to measure solar reflection; and Plankton, Aerosol,

This paper re-states the grand Svensmark theory and attempts to address the work that has shown cosmic rays can not be a significant
influence on climate because most aerosols run out of stuff to become big enough for
cloud formation.
We note that, there will still be a continuing role for simpler models to investigate and improve the simulation of specific mechanisms, including the development of models that investigate possible

Additional peer reviewed studies support stronger solar
influences on albedo and
cloud formation then previously projected, further supporting lower sensitivity.
I do not deny the mechanism that cosmic rays can produce charged particles, which can
influence cloud formation, that is so obvious, what is going
on at Cern is stupid.
Walter's scientific work has focused
