Can changes in solar irradiance be linked to changes in regional precipitation?

Question

This is based on lag time and not sunlight verses rain.

Answer 1

Some alarmists claim 'irradiance' is diminishing some claim it is gaining. !?  

However we all should know about 'jet streams' - right?

They change - you can monitor them here:

We have all learned about El Nino & La Nina - now alarmists want us to forget these and focus on the lie of CO2 & greenhouse gas weather forcing.

It is the other emissions from the Sun that alarmists seem to ignore - solar winds, x-ray flairs and most importantly  'Interplanetary Magnetic Fields'.   View here:

They also want you to ignore the 'heat source' within = the lithosphere over the oceans is only 3 - 5 miles thick till you encounter at least 1600+++ degree heat!!

Heat from within:

This internal heat keeps the earth from becoming a frozen 'ice ball'.  When the sun is 'quiet' like it is now the venting in the oceans stops and weather settles towards cooler weather and a 'solar minimum' which has been recorded as mini/small ice ages.

Famous 'solar minimum' - Maunder Minimum:

No one can predict for sure that solar cycle 24 will start up =  if it does not - prepare for some VERY COLD weather!!!!

Answer 2

increase in solar irradiance should increase precipitation

pan evaporation studies have shown that even though solar irradiance has increased over the last hundred years - evaporation has decreased. It is believed to be due to an increase in aerosol polutants that block some higher energy wavelengths (ir, vis, and uv).
