Climate Change & Magnetism.

[wulos]

With all the 'mumbo jumbo' surrounding the climate change debate, it is difficult to understand why there hasn't been discussion as to 'alternative theories, rather then simply pushing the CO2 argument.
Whilst there has been ongoing argument about comparing increases? in CO2, with temperature rises - even going as far as levying carbon taxes, little discussion has been forward coming about the contribution of changes in the Earths magnetic fields.
One study out there, contends that variations in the earths magnetic field effects climate.

puts forward that a reduction in the earths magnetic fields, weakens the 'shielding' effect, allowing more solar radiation through
Another recently released study investigates the connection between shifts in the Earths magnetic poles, & temperature variations. Is climate change, & the fact that the shift in the magnetic poles has increased from 9km / year in the 70s, to over 40km / per year a coincidence?
Magnetic pole shift & climate change
Discussion on the correlation between changes in magnetic fields and temperature change. Tis interesting to note that the graphs comparing mag fields, and temp variations appear to be a lot closer, then similar ones comparing increases in CO2, and temp increases.

I don't think that anyone out there is arguing about whether climate change is happening or not - the real question that needs solving is WHY?
