That solar cycles affect weather is well known among climate scientists. It's a bit of noise in the signal.... I have also heard that solar minimums have a minimal effect.... BUT What caused the Ice ages, and then the warm periods between the ice ages? What caused the mini ice age and what caused it to stop after only 500 or so years?? Observing the climate cycles over millions of years is the only way to actually judge climate change, yes the climate is changing, yes it has been changing for millions of years. To say this here climate, todays climate, is the best, lets make sure we stop the millennial climate cycles at this here place and time smacks of hubris... 1st world hubris... Africa used to be lush and green, Europeans want to stop climate change at a time when half of the worlds population is sitting in a desert or in a monsoon area 1/2 flooded and 1/2 deadly dry. Who are you to say this is the best climate for everybody in the world... . Changing weather patterns, deserts turn into grasslands, all part of the norm in geologic terms. Don't put your European Racists 'norms' on the rest of the world forcing your climate wants on the planet when so many other people Need the climate to change.... You are ready to kill Billions of people to force the climate to adhere to your European standards when if you just consider the marginalized people of the world you can see that they NEED change not condemnation from you and not for you to eliminate them because your 'numbers' in your models say that they have to die...
