The Climate Policy Trap: Why Failure So Often Leads to More of the Same

Svensmark on Cosmic Rays, Clouds and the Politics of Climate Science

By |2026-08-15T22:31:41+02:00August 13, 2026|

At the EIKE Conference in Halle (Germany), Willie Soon and Ronan Connolly from the CERES Team met with recently fired Danish physicist Henrik Svensmark for a wide-ranging discussion about his research into the relationship between solar activity, cosmic rays, clouds and climate. The cosmic-ray mechanism he proposes deserves to be investigated on its physical merits rather than dismissed because it does not fit comfortably into existing climate-model frameworks.
