Why the ”Climate-hunters” does not talk about sunspots.

Year after year, leaders from the world attends climate conferences, but I have never heard any alert regarding the danger of high sunspots activities.

Can it be a religious matter? In early days when the Christian crusades tried to take over the world, they met many sun-worshiping groups of people, who believed in the sun as a god. This was not be accepted by the Christians, so they started to kill the leaders of these groups. Sometimes by cutting their head off!

Personally, I am glad that I did not live then, nowadays you may only be cut off by Facebook or Twitter, for your opinion.

I started to study the movements of the magnetic poles in the early 70ths, and was situated in the northern part of Canada, more exactly around Queen Elisabeth’s islands. Since then, it has been moving with an average of 45 km per year and now situated close to Siberia! This because of the power from the suns own magnetic fields. I am not an expert, but how much influence have our sun made during this period, in the climate change theories?

Almost every day, with the right equipment, you can see large, dark patches that cover parts of the sun’s surface. These dark patches are called sunspots. They are slightly cooler patches of the surface of the sun that expand and contract as they move. It may not seem important to understand sunspots, but they can have a huge effect on our current climate, as well as the future of our world.

The sun has the largest effect on the climate that we enjoy on Earth. Without it there would be no light, resulting in no growth, since our climate largely relies on the sun to provide the energy needed for photosynthesis. Sunspots were first noticed to affect the Earth when scientists realized that increased activity with sunspots creates increased interference with magnetic instruments on the surface of the earth.

“As scientists have looked further into this phenomenon, they noticed that near the sunspot, hotter areas of the sun would react with the magnetic field outside the sunspot and create a solar flare. Solar flares project a host of things, including x-rays and energy particles rushing toward the Earth’s atmosphere in the form of a geomagnetic storm.”

What happens when there are few sunspots visible from earth?                                             During the period from 1645 to 1715, the Sun entered a period of low activity now known as the Maunder Minimum, when the Sun displayed very few, or if any sunspots. Models of the Sun’s irradiance suggest that the solar energy input to the Earth decreased during that time and this change in solar activity could explain the low temperatures recorded in Europe during what now is known as, the Little Ice Age.

I welcome your opinions.

Thanks for reading.

This blog, Windmush, by Curt is about different "Time Zones" in life. The name Windmush, can be find in old Jack London books about a Husky called Mush, also called Buck. This dog reflects my childhood as I was also left by my parents to live with another family. But by the age of 15 I left to see the world by my own and ....I became Windmush !
