How do changes in the Sun affect the Earth's climate? What are the implications for climate change
How do changes in the Sun affect the Earth's climate? Observations of sunspots date back to at least 2nd century BC, and so have speculations that sunspot numbers are related to weather, but scientific evbidence is more elusive. Professor Joanna Haigh will be telling us about the results of her most recent research, published this month in Nature. Recent satellite measurements of the Sun's ultraviolet, visble and infrared energy output show unexpected large variations, leading to higherto unexpected variations in the atmosphere. What are the implications for climate change? Might it be possible to counteract global warming by solar radiation management techniques?
