When solar cycles are shorter than 11 years over several cycles the planet warms when cycles are longer than 11 year for a few cycles, the planet cools. A very tight correlation to climate is coupled to the frequency of the solar cycle. Astrophysicists in Denmark, however, have teased out the relationship between sunspots and climate (Friis-Christensen and Lassen, 1991). There is no correlation with the number of sunspots, though we know that sunspots are a proxy for the sun’s electromagnetic behavior. The effect of the solar cycle is seriously misunderstood. The climate is changing globally, but it’s not caused by the heat. On 1 July 2017 China reported the highest rainfall in 60 years. The landslides were triggered by heavy monsoon rains, with 343 millimetres (13.5 inches) of rain falling on the area.” In May, Sri Lanka has suffered 2,000 deaths due to landslides, and 200,000 displaced this spring. “Authorities say hundreds of hillside homes were buried by landslides in the southeast of the country as people slept. In early June, rescue workers battled to reach remote areas of Bangladesh hit by landslides and heavy rains that have killed at least 137 people, with dozens more missing. In 1977 nearly 12 inches of rain fell in 24 hours, when a thunderstorm stalled over the area.īut these phenomena are not restricted to North America or Canada. The Johnstown Flood of 1936 and another Johnstown flood in 1977 occurred during solar minima. History supports this hypothesis – the horrible Johnstown flood occurred on with loss of 2,200 lives. Toronto, if you will, is within a Great Lakes cloud chamber. Eighty-eight people died in Toronto and Toronto abandoned living in its beautiful wooded ravines. But not just that, worse calamities, Hurricane Hazel (1954) occurred during a solar minimum. This year’s Minden Ontario flood occurred on the 11th anniversary of the Peterborough flood. The Lake Ontario high water is the 22nd anniversary of the previous highest water levels recorded. Toronto Island is sandbagged and may be closed for several months. Canada is wet from the Pacific to the Atlantic. The fire chief was lost at Cache Creek, BC. Major floods have occurred in Quebec and caused a human tragedy in loss of habitation the army was called in. In the spring of 2017 the sunspot number was low or zero and Canada was plagued with spring floods from melting snow and heavy rainfall. The sunspot cycle averages about 11 (± 1.5) years. Solar cycle 24, the weakest in 100 years, is stumbling to an end. Abstract: The sun controls climate change.
