Quote:Despite significant scientific evidence , neither of the major climate-changing factors of SUNSPOT ACTIVITY or LUNAR CYCLES appear to be considered by the Bureau of Meteorology in their short-term or long-term weather predictions for Australia!
If the sun was the only driver for climate you would expect Mercury to be hotter than Venus.
So why isn't it?
Dear Barny no one is denying that an atmosphere doesn’t play a vital role when it comes to heating the surface of its host planet.
What I would like to once again point out to you is that our sun supplies the energy to everything it shines on and therefore all the climatic processes taking place on all the planets in our solar system are dependent on the suns energy to exist.
Therefore my cheeky friend the sun drives climate no matter which world your feet are on.
If the sun just happened to turn off, the climate processes on every planet in our solar system would start to wind down and turn of themselves eventually ceasing to exist.
Therefore the sun drives climate and everything associated with it……………….!!!
You single out Venus with an atmosphere consisting of 96.5% CO2 at an average constant temperature of 462°C.
What about Mars with an atmosphere consisting of 95.32% CO2 its temperature is 20°C max -125°C min.
There are too many variables that drive temperature to go through them all but one thing is certain CO2 is but one.
