Passing the Eddington limit without getting a ticket (cont.)
Technical details about super-Eddington atmospheres. Proceed at your own risk.
Cosmic Rays and Climate
A quick review of the cosmic ray / climate link.
Passing the Eddington limit without getting a ticket
This article succinctly describes the theory of porous atmospheres, which naturally gives rise to super-Eddington systems. We quickly review the meaning of the Eddington luminosity and how nature can circumvent it.
Carbon Dioxide or Solar Forcing?
Is 20th century global warming due to anthropogenic sources (i.e., greenhouse gasses) or natural variability? Find out here.
On the Role of Cosmic Ray Flux variations as a Climate Driver: The Debate
A summary of the debate prompted by the "infamous" paper written by Ján Veizer and myself. All the attacks and their rebuttals. Have fun.
The Milky Way Galaxy's Spiral Arms and Ice-Age Epochs and the Cosmic Ray Connection
On long time scales, it appears that our journey through the Milky Way is responsible for large climate variations. Each time we pass through spiral arms of the galaxy, we witness a higher flux of cosmic rays, which in turn reduce the global temperature. Read more about the effect and the evidence in this article.
