Here's an explanation of the reasons why the paper, which is used as a reference in the article linked here, was retracted: https://retractionwatch.com/2020/03/04/heavily-criticized-paper-blaming-the-sun-for-global-warming-is-retracted/ https://retractionwatch.com/2020/03/04/heavily-criticized-pa... As far as I can see from this, Valentina Zharkova's paper is basically a joke, technically. Notice that Zharkova made headlines previously by claiming that Earth is headed for a mini ice age: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97-per-cent/2018/jan/09/the-imminent-mini-ice-age-myth-is-back-and-its-still-wrong https://www.theguardian.com/environment/climate-consensus-97... Some comments from the linked article: "other solar scientists have criticized the model as being too simple, created based on just 35 years of data, and failing to accurately reproduce past solar activity." "the model fails in reproducing past known solar activity because Zharkova’s team treats the sun as a simple, predictable system like a pendulum." "Zharkova disagrees – I contacted her, and she told me that she believes a grand solar minimum would have a much bigger cooling effect. However, she also referenced long-debunked myths about global warming on Mars and Jupiter, and made a comment about “the preachers of global warming.”" "But Zharkova’s climate science beliefs are irrelevant. While she has created a model predicting an imminent period of quiet solar activity, other scientists have identified serious flaws in the model, and in any case, research has shown that another solar minimum would only have a small and temporary impact on Earth’s climate."
