A new study is certain to provoke fierce reactions from the vast global establishment devoted to spending billions of dollars a year fighting atmospheric release of CO2.  Demonizing the production of energy from the burning of organic fuel has provided a handy tool to all those who seek to tax and regulate economic activity even further. Researcher Henrik Svensmark, from The Technical University of Denmark, long has been a critic of climate models that downplay the role of solar activity.  Now he has conducted experiments that provide scientific weight to his theories by identifying the feedback mechanism through which solar activity works. Svensmark and colleagues showed this in a massive experiment to simulate the interaction of cosmic rays with the upper atmosphere and were able to model the physical mechanism.  His study was published in the journal Nature Communications and ably summarized by Graham Lloyd of The Australian, reprinted in...(Read Full Post)
