Abstract

The quiet Sun of the Maunder Minimum in the latter part of the 1600's is compared to the hyper-active Sun in the 1900's. Solar influence upon Earth's climate in these times of very different sunspot abundance is investigated. A second thread in this study is the possible influence of Jupiter in the observed variability of solar behaviour. Thirdly, is an analysis of the solar condition right now (late 2008) and its possible implications for climate on Earth; including what might be ahead. Last is a critical examination of IPCC's hypothesis that changing atmospheric CO2 concentration is the dominant contributor to changing climate.
