These fluctuations correspond neatly to the 11 - year solar cycle, in which the Sun's rotation gradually winds up its magnetic field into contorted coils, giving rise to flares and sunspots that emit ultraviolet and X-ray light.

Understanding this cycle is one of the biggest outstanding problems in solar physics, in part because it does not appear to match magnetic cycles observed on other solar - type stars — leading some to suggest the Sun is fundamentally different.

The Sun's activity — including changes in the number of sunspots, levels of radiation and ejection of material - varies on an eleven - year cycle, driven by changes in its magnetic field.

[Response: In this estimation, you divided a small amplitude ba an even smaller (the 22 - year Hale cycle is not very strong, and not even discernable in the sunspot record, even though we have reasons to believe it exists since the magnetic fields flip), thus not a very reliable methoIn this estimation, you divided a small amplitude ba an even smaller (the 22 - year Hale cycle is not very strong, and not even discernable in the sunspot record, even though we have reasons to believe it exists since the magnetic fields flip), thus not a very reliable methoin the sunspot record, even though we have reasons to believe it exists since the magnetic fields flip), thus not a very reliable method.

The 22 - year magnetic cycle was discovered in 1925 by the American astronomer George Ellery Hale.

I'm interested in the cosmic ray / albedo thesis but don't see much evidence to support it and would not at all be surprised to find that the actual coupling of solar cycles to climate cycles might well be from some other connection (be it magnetic, energetic particles, gravity waves or pixie dust; — RRB - It is an interesting thesis that is at least as well support as AGW (damning with faint praise; --RRB-

If Gray and Idso are correct — a doubling of atmospheric CO2 will result in only roughly 0.3 C warming — then roughly 0.5 C of the 0.7 C warming in the last 70 years was due to solar magnetic cycle modulation of planetary cloud cover.

William: Yes, however, there are sets of other observations that logically supports the assertion that the majority of the warming in the last 150 years was due to solar magnetic cycle changes rather than the increase in atmospheric CO2 and that the planet is about to significantly cool due to the current solar magnetic cycle change.

A few months after my sawtooth model of the AMO (i.e. mid-2013) I concluded that the mechanism I suggested in column 4 of that poster, namely seismic interference at the core - mantle boundary, CMB, would be too strongly damped to yield any sort of reliably oscillatory behavior, and my 2013 talk at AGU FM makes no mention of any oscillation except the 20 - year magnetic Hale cycle, which can be seen clearly even in CET back to the end of the Maunder minimum.

The majority (roughly 75 %) of the warming in the last 50 years has caused by solar magnetic cycle changes rather than the increase in atmospheric CO2?

It is a fact that the planet has cyclically warmed and cooled in the past and that solar magnetic cycle changes correlate with the cyclic warming and cooling of the planet.

For some unexplained reason there have been a large number of coronal holes on the surface of the sun, in low latitude positions during solar magnetic cycle 24, however due to the reduction in the solar wind density the solar wind bursts have less effect on cloud modulation which explains why there has suddenly be an increase sea ice in the Antarctic, a recovery of sea ice in the Arctic, and an inhibiting of the formation of El Niño events.

We propose that the cycle may be caused by modulation of cosmic ray (CR) flux by the Solar system vertical oscillation (64 My period) in the galaxy, the galactic north - south anisotropy of CR production in the galactic halo / wind / termination shock (due to the galactic motion toward the Virgo cluster), and the shielding by galactic magnetic fields.

In particular, frequent temperature cycling and magnetic fields cause a lot of competitive encoders to fail.

(The solar magnetic cycle changes cause an increase or decrease to the solar heliosphere and solar wind which in turn results in an increase or decrease in atmospheric ionization which in turn results in less or more low level clouds which results in more or less solar energy being reflected into space.)
