OZONE HOLES. “The ultraviolet part of the spectrum is also a strong modulator of the production of ozone, which is clearly demonstrated in the annual variation of the polar ozone holes which intensify during the local spring when the amount of UV radiation increases.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

CONNECTEDNESS. “Any change in the balance between incident and outgoing radiation can have an effect on the climate. Changes in the incoming energy may be associated with changes in cloudiness, amount of volcanic dust in the atmosphere, and amounts of either natural or anthropogenic origin aerosols.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

ENERGY OUTFLOW. “Changes in the amount of energy radiated away from Earth can be associated with the varying amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFCs, or ozone. The surface properties are also important for the reflected radiation, as the albedos for ice cover, vegetation, and soil are quite different.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

SOLAR CYCLE. “There is experimental evidence that the global temperature variations are correlated with a number of space physic parameters: the long term temperature anomaly follows the filtered solar cycle length, which is a measure of the intensity of the solar cycle.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

PARTICLE SHIELD. “The global cloud coverage anomalies are correlated with the mean values of the galactic cosmic ray flux, which is modulated by the solar cycle as the stronger solar wind pressure during solar maximum tends to decrease the amount of anomalous cosmic rays that can reach the inner solar system.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

COSMIC RAYS AND AEROSOLS. “The correlation of cosmic rays on only low-altitude cloud cover suggests that the cosmic rays may influence the formation of aerosols and through that the abundance of condensation nuclei in the atmosphere which can form liquid water drops.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

CLOUD FORMATION. “At ground level, the cosmic ray particles cause ionization, and the associated vertical electric currents can influence the production of ice-forming nuclei and clouds in the upper troposphere. These effects might be related to local decreases in the amount of cloud cover associated with short-term changes in the cosmic rays due to increased solar activity.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

THE FRACTAL EQUATION: Take a small number, square it, add the original number, feed back into the original equation, square it, add the original number, ad infinitum. For some numbers nothing happens (ie: 0,1) but for others it grows very quickly and escapes to infinity. This generates infinite complexity from such a simple formula. https://youtu.be/fFyC68CIEio View in LinkedIn
