Earth's Heat Source - The Sun

TL;DR

This paper challenges the standard solar model by presenting an alternative solar model that better explains solar phenomena and their influence on Earth's climate, emphasizing the Sun's role beyond just irradiance changes.

Contribution

It introduces an alternative solar model based on space-age observations, providing a comprehensive explanation of solar phenomena and their impact on Earth's climate.

Findings

The alternative solar model explains solar wind and cycles better.

It links solar activity with Earth's climate variations.

It challenges the assumption that greenhouse gases are the sole climate driver.

Abstract

The Sun encompasses planet Earth, supplies the heat that warms it, and even shakes it. The United Nation Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) assumed that solar influence on our climate is limited to changes in solar irradiance and adopted the consensus opinion of a Hydrogen-filled Sun, the Standard Solar Model (SSM). They did not consider the alternative solar model and instead adopted another consensus opinion: Anthropogenic greenhouse gases play a dominant role in climate change. The SSM fails to explain the solar wind, solar cycles, and the empirical link of solar surface activity with Earth changing climate. The alternative solar model, that was molded from an embarrassingly large number of unexpected observations revealed by space-age measurements since 1959, explains not only these puzzles but also how closely linked interactions between the Sun and its planets and other celestial bodies induce turbulent cycles of secondary solar characteristics that significantly affect Earth climate.
