The global climate system is predominantly driven by the energy from the sun. In fact, a whopping 70% of the sun’s radiation reaches the Earth’s surface. Over an 11 year cycle, the sun sometimes dims and sometimes brightens. Radiation levels fluctuate and the activity observed on the sun’s surface, like occurrence of sunspots and solar flares, changes. Given all this information, doesn’t it make sense that global warming is just a natural part of the Earth’s cycles? We can blame it all on the sun, right? Well, no. That has most definitely been disproved as a hypothesis. Join us as we explore and talk more about this idea.
