Abstract
Short-term temperature variations on Earth (∼21 years) are analyzed along with long-term variations (tens of years). The global nature of short-term temperature variations indicates a possible relation between this phenomenon and the modulating effect of the Sun’s activity on cosmic rays. Mechanisms of long-term climate change on Earth (increased concentrations of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and variation of the planet’s north magnetic pole) are discussed.
