I would think its fair to say the solar cycle has been impacting the earth well since there was an earth
I watched some show on TV last night called "Mini Ice Age" about the global cooling phenominon of the 1800's that caused the potatoe famon amongst other things.
I heard something that made me just laugh out loud. Some pseudo scientist or researcher or something says the following "We dont really know if the planet will be warming or if it will be cooling. All I know is we must do something to stop it."
Turns out the mini ice age was caused by the eruption of a volcanoe estimated to be 10 times that of Mt. St. Helen which spewed billions of metric tons of ash and sulfer into the upper stratosphere.
Yea put a stop to that !
