In short, it holds that [cosmic rays], which are the [[high energy]] particles that arrive at Earth from [[supernovas]], spur cloud formation by [[ionizing]] air molecules that act as seeds for [[water condensation]] and cloud formation.

When the sun’s output is high, cosmic rays are prevented from hitting the Earth, and vice versa. So high [[solar activity]] corresponds to low [[cosmic ray flux]] and therefore lower cloud formation and higher temperatures. " [http://www.climate-skeptic.com/2007/09/chapter-6-skept.html] |
