Foster and Rahmstorf (2011) showed that when we filter out the short -
term effects of the sun, volcanoes, and El Niño cycles, the underlying man - made global warming trend becomes even more clear (Figure 3).

In concrete
terms, the LS 19 will have a depth
of field, HDR rendering, ambient occlusion, and bloom
effects, and the
sun should no longer be a static light source and thus dynamically cast light and shadow.
In

sun, just as it would be if you stepped beneath a large shade tree.
If there was a Jupiter where Mercury is, and a Jupiter where Neptune is, which would have the greatest
effect on the
Sun (in
terms of the forces / processes which ultimately drive solar activity)?
More clouds both drastically reduce energy input from the
sun and simply slow release
of what energy there is trapped in the lower troposphere, but the long
term effect would be a fall in average temperature because
of the significantly reduced input power but the atmosphere's ability to cool is aided by air current circulation whereby the warmer air rises above those low clouds and that infra - red is more easily re-emitted into space, whereby the low clouds now block that re-emission from hitting the ground again to any significant degree.
Easterbrook added that his long -
term prediction until the end
of century is «a lot more nebulous» due to the still - unknown
effect of the
sun, which has entered a «grand solar minimum» occurring every 200 years.
I always believed that the oceans were an important element in localised weather conditions over the short
term but feel that relatively sudden shifts in climate occur through external forcings such as volcanic eruptions, meteor strike and the
effects of changes in cosmic rays and
sun spot activity, which are, unfortunately, all chaotic by nature and unpredictable.

Given that there is no such thing as a free lunch (first law
of thermodynamics), and given that we puny humans are, despite our punyness in comparison to the massive Earth -
Sun system, now producing enough greenhouse gases to seriously adversely affect our climate in the medium
term, what is the likely climatological
effect of all the wind - and wave - power systems which will be coming onstream in the medium
term round the globe?
This may not sound like much, but it is actually just about enough to cancel out the warming
effect caused by the
sun brightening through time, so in the long -
term it appears the net
effect of both was pretty much constant on average.»
