Cosmoclimatology: The influence of Cosmic rays on Climate
by
Director Henrik Svensmark, Danmarks Rumsenter
Changes in the intensity of galactic cosmic rays alter the Earths cloudiness. A recent experiment has shown how electrons liberated by cosmic rays assist in making aerosols, the building blocks of cloud condensation nuclei, while anomalous climatic trends in Antarctica confirm the role of clouds in helping to drive climate change.
