Abstract
Several possible causes of global climate change have been discussed in the scientific literature (see in Swensmark, 2000): 1) orbital changes in the Earth’s motion around the Sun; 2) internal variability in the climate system, e.g., changes in atmospheric and ocean circulation; 3) large volcanic eruptions, which are known to cause a sudden cooling lasting several years; 4) changes in concentration of greenhouse gases (increase of atmospheric CO2 concentration during the last 100 years by about 30% has led to an increase approximately 0.7 °C in the global surface temperature); 5) changes in solar activity and in CR intensity. This last possible cause will be the main subject of this Chapter.
