Dr. Peter F. Mayer at Austria\u2019s online TKP<\/a> has published a new article titled: \u201c3,000 Years of Climate History: What Solar Cycles Have to Do with Temperature Trends<\/em><\/a>.\u201d <\/strong>Based on reconstructions (such as the Temperature 12k<\/em> database published in 2020),  Dr. Mayer argues that the Holocene climate optimum occurred about 6,500 years ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since then, a long-term cooling trend with superimposed fluctuations has prevailed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayer criticizes popular publications (such as the 2013 paper by Marcott et al.), alleging that statistical artifacts or improper blending of proxy data with modern measurements are misused to depict an extreme temperature rise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayer finds a pattern that runs throughout the paleoclimatological literature: \u201cThe closer one gets to the present, the more blurred the line becomes between proxy data and instrumental measurements, between reconstruction and model assumptions.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Historical solar activity and the solar cycle (Schwabe cycle)<\/strong> can be reconstructed using isotope analysis (such as and in tree rings). In addition to changes in total solar irradiance<\/strong>, the article points to the shielding of cosmic rays by the solar magnetic field. Weak solar activity allows more cosmic radiation to reach Earth, which can promote cloud formation and contribute to cooling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mayer presents historical climate periods that are directly linked to reconstructions of solar activity:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
