I recently read a book about global warming and found out that global warming could be caused by changes in sunspot cycles. I was wondering why this point was often not printed in some books(at least those found in my school library), even though it seemed to be a likely cause of global warming. I would like to ask if sunspots do make a difference in global temperature.  A friend of today is an enemy of tomorrow. I am an empty shell. I don't feel loved at all |

I dunno about sunspots, but it does sound likely that they will cause some damage, if there is a slight flux in damaging elements from the sun, then it is likely that it will affect our O-Zone layer. If you look at the cycle of our solar system and the way it moves in our galaxy, there are patterns in conditions and positioning and their effect on global warming. The fact of the matter is, scientists are only aware of so much that actually causes global warming. What's worse is governments have coined onto and used it as an extra income through taxing and such for 'environmentally unfriendly' products like cars and energy. The problem doesn't subside. We can all be certain that it will all go to the dogs eventually. But then it'll rebuild itself. Personally, I like to think of global warming as the planets way of trying to get rid of everything that's wrong with it, so it can start again. But that's just my opinion and I've just rambled on missing the question almost completely. Sunspots do make a difference, but not for long periods of time. They flare up and burn out, it's their nature. These fluxes are a common occurrence, but won't actually warm the entire globe permanently. But like I aid earlier, it could damage the O-Zone by forcing reactions in the air.  |

the sun is responsible for most of the atmospheric thermal energy. it stands to reason that variation in the sun's output would change the atmospheric temperature in linear proportionality. the solar cycle correlates with sinusoidally varying intensities of ejecta from the corona of the sun. the thermal output of the sun, however, varies by a very small amount during the solar cycle, i should imagine. so, my answer would be "yes, but hardly at all." it is widely agreed upon by climatologists at this time that anthropogenic change in the climate due to the greenhouse gas emissions (specifically, C)2) has been measured.

Well, global warming is the fault of us people who do nothing but to burn garbage and stuff[In my country] and its smoke [or what you called it] penetrates and destroys our Ozone Layer which protects us from the ultraviolet [I think that it is] rays of the sun that can cause harm to our body and skin. Note: I don't know anything about sunspots but the one above is my reason for global warming. And the one above is just a thing I came up to when I had first read the title of your thread since in our school, it is always being talked about by most of the science teacher before our class begins. |
