“Given that Rorate Coeli and Shea are mad at Fr. Z, I think it proves Fr. Z knows what he is doing and he is right.”

"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

The logical response is, of course, “Fascinating.”
Agree with the ‘Just Too Cool’ tagging.
The next logical response is “Brrrr!” There is an increasingly strong theory that more cosmic rays mean more clouds and more clouds mean cooler temperatures on earth. What causes more cosmic rays? Low solar activity, i.e., fewer sunspots, reducing the solar wind, the flow of particles from the sun that help deflect cosmic rays.
Solar activity has been falling for some years and is expected by some solar scientists to remain very low until about 2050. The last time solar activity remained very low for several decades we had the Maunder Minimum, the coldest part of the Little Ice Age, 1645-1715, when the Thames froze regularly. The so-called climate models incorporate little or nothing of the solar activity/cosmic rays/clouds effects.
This is the other side of the solar activity coin from the coronal mass ejections that Fr. Z rightly warns about. Instead of a sudden, potentially very damaging event, erupting huge amounts of material toward the earth, this is a slow but inexorable process of greatly reduced particle flow that can have profound effects on climate, agriculture, health, the environment, and the global economy.
To learn more, Google “Henrik Svensmark,” the Danish physicist who has proposed the theory that cosmic rays promote the nucleation particles that lead to cloud formation. “Just Too Cool” might be all too true.
