More on CLOUD

Top climate astrophysicist Dr. Nir Shaviv interprets the results of CERN's CLOUD experiment:
... The results are very beautiful and they demonstrate, yet again, how cosmic rays (which govern the amount of atmospheric ionization) can in principle have an effect on climate.
... it naturally explains the large solar/climate links. As a consequence, anyone trying to understand past (and future) climate change must consider the whole effect that the sun has on climate, not just the relatively small variations in the total irradiance (which is the only solar influence most modelers consider). This in turn implies (and I will write about it in the near future), that some of the 20th century warming should be attributed to the sun, and that the climate sensitivity is on the low side (around 1 deg increase per CO2 doubling).
Here's an earlier (before CLOUD results) presentation by Dr. Shaviv explaining the cosmic ray connection with climate:

It is clear that this whole man-made global warming scam is a political agenda to destroy western civilisation along with providing a very profitable gravy train for certain individuals. The main mover and shaker being Moe Strong.

The warmists have done a bang-up job pushing their aganda and still have enormous momentum. It'll be tough turning it around, but at least it's turning.
