Abstract
Paleoclimatic data (the change in the width of the annual growth rings in fossil petrified trees) have been studied with a high spatial resolution on a time interval up to several million years in order to reveal quasiperiodic variations in the parameters of climatic processes. It has been indicated that the detected periodicities are often similar to present-day solar activity cyclicity. This circumstance indicates that solar activity affects climatic processes and the environment regardless of variations in (or constancy of) the climatic conditions during the considered period.
