Re: Did cosmic rays cause ice ages?

Especially since it appears the Earth's magnetic field appears to be in the process of reversing.  It's intensity has been decresing for at least 50 years.

Did cosmic rays cause ice ages? (Jul 12)

http://physicsweb.org/article/news/8/7/6

Ice ages could be caused by changes in the flux of

cosmic rays hitting the Earth according to three

physicists. Jasper Kirkby of CERN, Augusto Mangini of

the University of Heidelberg and Richard Muller of the

University of California at Berkeley suggest that the

cosmic rays exert their influence through their effect

on clouds. By challenging the established insolation

theory of glacial cycles, the physicists are sure to

encounter opposition from the 

geophysics community

(arXiv.org/abs/physics/0407005).
