Solar flares drive weather patterns, and may be larger than expected contributing factors in the global warming we are experiencing. This is something we’ve known for a long time, studying solar patterns as we’ve been doing. We’ve used solar flare patterns to successfully predict even micro-climactic weather. I’m not at all surprised by these findings.
Even though humans are contributing to the hastening of global warming, we aren’t the sole factor, and I believe it would happen even without our input because of longer term weather patterns we haven’t studied. It’s possible that there may be little we can do to avoid a “small summer” or a subsequent “little ice age” except to develop the technology to see us survive it.
