A fickle sun could be altering Earth`s climate after all
A long effort to link slight fluctuations in solar output with climate on Earth may finally be succeeding. A cycle of temperature changes in much of the middle and low atmosphere matches the 11 year sunspot cycle over much of the Northern Hemisphere. The findings were reported at the International Union of Geodesy and Gophysics meeting in Colorado. This article discusses the evidence and the modeling which has been done to reveal this possible connection. 1 fig.
