The geomagnetic field's imprint on the twentieth century's climate variability

The existing controversy regarding the climatic response to given changes in the geomagnetic field intensity (e.g. climate cooling or warming in periods of geomagnetic field strengthening) raises scepticism about the existence of any relationship between both variables. The main shortcomings of the recent understanding of the geomagnetic field–climate relationship are the expectations for: (i) its universal character over the globe; and (ii) the...
