Abstract
No one can doubt that the sun is the chief driving force for our terrestrial climate. The annual march of the seasons as the earth's axis of rotation tilts toward or away from the sun's direction is sufficient proof of that, while the presence of periodicities in glacial deposits matching those of known orbital variations has revealed the apparent sensitivity of global climate to relatively small changes in the distribution of sunlight. What has remained debatable and controversial, however, is the question of whether or not variations in the sun's radiative and plasma emissions occur that are capable of influencing the weather and climate at the earth's surface. The current status of the field and the implications for global change have recently been reviewed by the U.S. National Research Council [NRC, 1994].
