Solar/cosmic ray forcing
Changes in the rate of cosmic ray inflow cause climate change. The CLOUD experiment (CERN) is investigating possible physical mechanisms for this: climate change is in part a function of lower atmosphere cloud cover, clouds are affected by cosmic rays and cosmic rays are affected by solar activity.
