Climate scientists used to understand that the sun controlled Earth’s climate – until Michael Mann and James Hansen destroyed the temperature record about 20 years ago.
Total solar irradiance (TSI) has increased since the Little Ice Age.
The graph below is from the 1990 IPCC report, and it shows temperatures were much warmer 900 years ago and were much cooler 400 years ago during the Little Ice Age.
If we overlay the TSI graph and the 1990 IPCC graph, we see the correlation between temperature and TSI.
The 1990 IPCC graph is hand drawn and the X-axis is irregular. A small shift and scaling change lines up TSI and temperature almost perfectly.
Similarly, we see a correlation between the 1974 NCAR global temperature graph and sunspots.

Again, a small shift of the hand-drawn 1974 graph causes sunspots and temperature to line up very closely.
TSI and Sunspots are only part of the solar climate story. Comets have two tails because there are at least two distinct types of energy being emitted from the Sun – photons and ionized particles known as the Solar Wind.
The Earth’s magnetic field protects us from the Solar Wind – directing the charged particles towards the poles where they release energy as the Northern and Southern lights.
Without the magnetic field surrounding Earth, our planet would be unlivable.

In 1859, a large solar storm brought charged particles across the entire planet, with so much energy that people all over the world could read at night, and telegraph lines carried current without any power supply.

The storm came from a coronal mass ejection which was released from this sunspot group.

The solar wind brings a lot of very variable energy into Earth’s atmosphere, which is completely unaccounted for by climate scientists.
And because the Earth’s and Sun’s magnetic fields are constantly changing, this causes weather patterns on earth to change too – leading to all sorts of superstitions like the current “climate change” cult.
The correlation between solar activity and Earth’s temperature was obvious until 20 years ago when Michael Mann and James Hansen corrupted Earth’s temperature record through massive data tampering.
Mann made the Medieval Warm Period and Little Ice Age disappear with his hockey stick graph.
Meanwhile, Hansen made the 1940’s warmth and subsequent cooling disappear.
There was no question at the time that the 1930s and 1940s were very warm, and that the temperatures correlated with solar activity.

In 1951, MIT professor Hurd C. Willett correctly predicted 20 years of global cooling, based on sunspot cycles.

The first director of NCAR understood that sun controlled Earth’s climate.
In 1973, Roberts predicted a drought based on sunspot cycles.

By destroying the temperature record, Mann and Hansen wrecked an entire field of science – and caused scientists to pursue a superstitious relationship between temperature and CO2 instead of doing actual research.

Lime most things the Left touches, like a bunch of seagulls fighting over a bag of chips ( science ) , when they are finished all you have is no chips, a lot of noise and guano over everything…….tell me I’m wrong….
I can still remember all that poppycock WE HAVE ONLY TEN(10)YEARS LEFT TO SAVE THE PLANET and that was back some 40 years ago back when Ehrlich was making all his rediculous predictions and not one happened and its been 50 years since Ehrlich wrote he book THE POPULATION BOMB(It was a dud)and 55 years since Carson wrote her book SILENT SPRING full of Junk Science now Al Bore wrote his book EARTH IN THE BALANCE(With Bores thumb on the scales)and the Green Religion wanting Skeptics/Atheists/Infidels persicuted for refusing to worship at the Church of Gaia
Yep. and the frauds just keep getting bigger. I sure would like to see them get off this hobby horse and give it a rest. The IPCC’s 3rd Assessment report had eliminated the little ice age and the Medieval Warm Period and you’d think that would have done a whole lot of damage to the “cause”, but no, they’re still at it. Thank God for a president who is sane on this issue. I hate to think where Hillary would have taken us on this. We can’t even let a moderate Republican get in again because they’re pushing for a carbon tax.
