The climate change
An exclusive celebration occured at the top of the Greenland icecap on the
12. july 1992, when the drill from the GRIP-project came to the surface
and brought up not only ice, but also ground. The drilling had reached
“land” 3.029 meters below, and revealed a part of Greenland under
compressed ice from 200 000 years ago.
Ice from earlier drilling had forwards been analysed in Europeen
laboratories, giving amazing results. The conclusion was that our Earth
could change temperature incredible fast, based on analysis of deuterium
(heavy water) from year to year. Abrubt temperature swinging, up or
down with 5-7 ºC over few decades, occured about twenty times in
samples from the last glacial period, and similar incidents could clearly be
seen in the previous heat period about 120.000 years ago. It looked like
the absence of such violent climate changes was an extreeme case with
the heat period since the last glacial period ended about 8000 b.c . (1)
Gradually the sun was suspicted. It’s periods with flares could possibly
answer for some of the climat change effect, but far from all. (1)

amount derived from salellite data from the International Cloud
Clomatology Project and cosmic ray counts from Climax, Colorado
It is evident that that for the 22.year period from 1983 to 2005, the
average amount of low-level cloud follows the flux of cosmic rays very
closely. In fact, Svensmark claims that the
correlation coefficient is 0.92, a very high
correlation for this type of data. He proposed
that the global warming we’ve experienced
for the past 150 years is a direct result of an
increase in solar activity and attendant
warming.
