Scafetta is headed in the right direction. Tidal effects influence the flow and the nature of energy flowing from the Sun. Leaders of the National Academy of Sciences, the Royal Society, and the United Nations probably know the Sun controls Earth’s climate, as does anyone else who grasps Earth’s place in the stream of energy (heat, light, particles and fields) that spews from a pulsar 1 AU away and bathes. Earth on its journey to become part of interstellar space.
