Earth-Sun Relationship & Global Warming Effects

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the impact of the Sun's orbital motion on both the Sun itself and Earth's atmosphere. It highlights that while the Sun, being a gas ball, exhibits phenomena like sunspots due to this motion, Earth experiences changes in weather and climate as a result. The conversation touches on the ongoing debate between proponents of anthropogenic global warming (AGW) and skeptics regarding the Sun's role in climate processes. Some participants express frustration over the inability to view accompanying figures that illustrate simultaneous events between the Earth and Sun. There is also mention of atmospheric tides and the influence of outer planets on weather patterns, though the connection between solar variation and climate remains unclear. The discussion concludes with a reference to the complexities of CO2's role in climate science, suggesting that past research may have reached a dead end in understanding historical climate events.

This orbital motion of the Sun has an effect on the Sun. Keep in mind that the Sun is merely a ball of gas. If this orbital motion has effects on this ball of gas we call the Sun, then one could expect it to have similar effects on spherical shells of gas, such as Earth’s atmosphere. Therefore, the Sun-Earth orbital motion has effects on Earth just as it does on the Sun. The Earth does not react the same from this orbital motion as the Sun does. The Sun reacts with changes in Sunspots and other various phenomena. The Earth on the other hand reacts with changing weather and climate. Simultaneous events between the Earth and the Sun in their orbits are shown in Figure 3.

Have these facts been added to the global warming equation ?

Interesting, Wolram. Most unfortunately I cannot see the figures for some reason. Can you? Before commenting, I'd like to see them.

As for the role of the sun in the climate process. Of course there are two camps once more. The AGW propaganist don't want to hear about it, the skeptics keep telling how important the sun is for climate.
 
As we all know the sun is a ball of gas, the same can be said for our atmosphere
the out outer planets have some power to distort these gas bodies, ergo change weather patterns on earth, i have no idea of the cycle of these events,
i leave it to the pros to say if they have any bearing .

Try this Andre, not much better, but how much effort has been spent, not as much as CO2 i guess.

Interesting indeed, Wolram, however links with solar variation and climate are not very clear yet on both papers. I'll send them to a friendly solar scientist.

About the CO2 - climate connection, there is a very large book here:

The problem is that the forensic science went on a dead end explaining the ice age, and getting somewhere on a dead end is doomed to fail.
 
Hello, I’m currently writing a series of essays on Pangaea, continental drift, and Earth’s geological cycles. While working on my research, I’ve come across some inconsistencies in the existing theories — for example, why the main pressure seems to have been concentrated in the northern polar regions. So I’m curious: is there any data or evidence suggesting that an external cosmic body (an asteroid, comet, or another massive object) could have influenced Earth’s geology in the distant...
On August 10, 2025, there was a massive landslide on the eastern side of Tracy Arm fjord. Although some sources mention 1000 ft tsunami, that height represents the run-up on the sides of the fjord. Technically it was a seiche.
