With the recent leaking of internal communications of the Climatic Research Unit, showing what appears to be a conspiracy to not only selectively mine climatic data, but to deliberately expunge data unfriendly to the man-made global warming consensus, it now becomes evident that what we have here is a contemporary form of Ptolemaism. Once again the centrality of Earth is dogma, as if it were an environmental bubble in the universe...
One might recall, that such was the presumption of Biosphere II, an attempt to create a hermetically self-contained environment separate from its surroundings, allowing in only sunlight. It was a miserable failure, perhaps in large part due to the fact that Biosphere I, Earth itself, is by no means hermetically sealed from its solar and cosmic environment. (Read I.M.Vernadski's Biosphere, pgs. 43-50)
A case in point: this perused Google Scholar search brings to our attention a couple of research papers which demonstrate a sensitivity of hurricane frequency to cosmic rays...
On the trend of Atlantic Hurricane with Cosmic Rays
and even some correlation of cosmic ray and sun spot activity with the formation of more powerful hurricanes...
Cosmic Ray, Solar and Geomagnetic Changes, Preceding Hurricane Formation
Hence, like cosmic reflections, sun spots do beget the eyes of hurricanes. And conversely, for this year at least, a scarcity of spots leaves a barreness of eyes in its wake...
2009 moves up to 4th place for no-sunspot days
Hurricane season ends with barely a whimper
