2. Solar activity and climate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_activity_and_climate

   The finding that solar activity was approximately the same in cycles 14 and 24 applies to all solar outputs that have, in the past, been proposed as a potential cause of terrestrial climate change and includes total solar irradiance, cosmic ray fluxes, spectral UV irradiance, solar wind speed and/or density, heliospheric magnetic field and its ...

3. Solar radiation modification - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_radiation_modification

   Potential complementary responses to climate change: greenhouse gas emissions abatement, carbon dioxide removal, SRM, and adaptation. [8]The context for the interest in solar radiation modification (SRM) options is continued high global emissions of greenhouse gases, rising global temperatures, and worsening climate impacts.

4. Space sunshade - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_sunshade

   A sunshade could potentially be one climate engineering method for mitigating global warming through solar radiation management, because internationally negotiated reductions in carbon emissions may be insufficient to stem climate change. [5] [6] Sunshades could also be used to produce space solar power, acting as solar power satellites ...

5. Explainer-COP29: What is the latest science on climate change?

   www.aol.com/news/explainer-cop29-latest-science...

   This year's U.N. climate summit - COP29 - is being held during yet another record-breaking year of higher global temperatures, adding pressure to negotiations aimed at curbing climate change.

6. Stratospheric aerosol injection - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stratospheric_aerosol...

   The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change concludes that it "is the most-researched [solar geoengineering] method that it could limit warming to below 1.5 °C (2.7 °F)." [ 3 ] However, like other solar geoengineering approaches, stratospheric aerosol injection would do so imperfectly and other effects are possible, [ 4 ] particularly if ...

7. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

   The efficiency of the solar cells used in a photovoltaic system, in combination with latitude and climate, determines the annual energy output of the system. For example, a solar panel with 20% efficiency and an area of 1 m 2 produces 200 kWh/yr at Standard Test Conditions if exposed to the Standard Test Condition solar irradiance value of 1000 ...

8. Solar cycle - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_cycle

   The cycle also impacts regional climate. Measurements from the SORCE's Spectral Irradiance Monitor show that solar UV variability produces, for example, colder winters in the U.S. and northern Europe and warmer winters in Canada and southern Europe during solar minima. [99] Three proposed mechanisms mediate solar variations' climate impacts:

9. Effects of climate change - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change

   Some climate change effects: wildfire caused by heat and dryness, bleached coral caused by ocean acidification and heating, environmental migration caused by desertification, and coastal flooding caused by storms and sea level rise. Effects of climate change are well documented and growing for Earth's natural environment and human societies. Changes to the climate system include an overall ...
