Default Another co-incidence? The Earth's magnetic shield.

"At present, the overall geomagnetic field is becoming weaker; the present
strong deterioration corresponds to a 10-15% decline over the last 150 years
and has accelerated in the past several years; geomagnetic intensity has
declined almost continuously from a maximum 35% above the modern value
achieved approximately 2,000 years ago."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geomagn...gnetic_fie ld

Could there be any connection, as well as correlation, between the reduced
magnetic field and increased co2 or warming? Or could all be caused by some
other factor, perhaps galactic in origin?

Could there be any connection, as well as correlation, between the reduced

some

And the answer to all four questions is a rousing and resounding "YES! It
COULD be!"

i doubt your interest in this subjest is honest, and instead might
just be the usuall attempt to spread doubt by the denialists who dont
want to reduce green house gas emissions. For it appears you have
just taken up the subject even though you previously admitted you
doubt anyone can "answer the question" that a connection exists.

An intelligent question: To which no climatologist has the answer.
But is the Earth really warming above anything that has been roughly the
norm before man started ridng around in SUV's?
I don't think so, in fact it is rather cooler than many periods before the
industrial age and of course rather warmer than any of the numerous ice
ages. So really things are very boringly average. Despite all the panic that
an irresponsible IPCC has created nothing very much is happening in
comparison with what has often gone before. Just looking at the climate,
time travellers wouldn't have the slightest idea what century or millenia
they had landed in. Would they? Not even measuring the global amount of CO2
would tell them anything as 400 ppm is nothing new. And if these ageless
travellers had been here a million years ago then they may be thinking it
was colder than they remembered before and wishing they had brought their
woolies.

One question that occurs to me is that as our magnetic field declines will
cancer increase?

First law of global warming. If it is bad, it has something to do with
global warming. If it is good, it is irrelevant.

=You seem to be a bit muddled. More cosmic rays are thought to perhaps cause
more clouds and therefore *cooling*! In this case I am asking by what
mechanism, if any, might magnetic field variation and co2 levels or
*warming* be linked. More the co2 as that is the more coincident signal.

I suppose I wouldn't go as far as you here. I think probably most of the co2
rise in the 1850s could have been due to human activity, but not fossil fuel
use, maybe whaling and fishing. But also is it just a coincidence that the
magnetic field starting weakening at about the same time quite drastically!?

cancer increase?

There is some evidence that skin cancer rates have gone up AFAIK, which is
normally put down to the ozone hole but could be to do with this perhaps!?

not muddled, more so not trusting of your words as you seem to be once
again approaching the issue with a "muddled view". So to clarify, we
understand increasing the amounts of co2 in the atmosphere changes the
composition, and the thermodynamic poperties of earths atmosphere.
There has been no shown connection between GCR and clouds, and yet
there is a connection between co2 and human actions, and co2 and
warming.
