Friends of Science Society Position Statement
Our goal is to educate the public about climate science and through them bring pressure to bear on governments to engage in public debates on the scientific merits of the hypothesis of human induced global warming and the various policies that intend to address the issue.
While FoS does not do any original scientific research, it draws on the worldwide body of work by scientists in all fields relating to global climate change.
It is our opinion that the Sun is the main direct and indirect driver of climate change.
Variations in solar activity and cosmic rays correlate to temperature much better than CO2. This may be because an electro-magnetically active sun diverts cosmic rays from hitting the atmosphere. Cosmic rays have been shown experimentally to assist in cloud formation. Fewer cosmic rays result in reduced low cloud cover, which allows more sunlight to warm the Earth’s surface.
