<p><BR/>Replying to:<BR/><DIV CLASS='Discussion_PostQuote'>Can't wait to see it in Narure when it comes out with the graphs! <br /> Posted by MeteorWayne</DIV></p><p>I hear you.&nbsp; I'm particularly curious about the variations in solar cycle data and how well that might correspond with cooler periods in Earth's history.&nbsp; There does seem to be a direct link between ocean temperatures and sunspot activity, and the sunspot activity is typically indicative of activity in the iron ion wavelengths.&nbsp; If there is any way to link the solar cycle data to cooling trends, the would be pretty clear evidence that the sun's natural variations may play a major role in global warming/cooling.&nbsp; It seems like a hot area of research (pardon the pun). </p> <div class="Discussion_UserSignature"> It seems to be a natural consequence of our points of view to assume that the whole of space is filled with electrons and flying electric ions of all kinds. - Kristian Birkeland </div>
