1. Since 2021, a Japanese scientist sand others have shown that periodicities for the long-known 1.5 ky Dansgaard-Oeschger events, the 6 ky Heinrich events, and possible 12 ky magnetic pole wandering, can be derived from [large flare, micronova] data from perhaps 900 Sun-like stars.  Will processes outside of our solar system radically alter our current understanding?

Steven Wickson 03Feb2024 (draft) Do planetary alignments affect sunspot cycles, climate oscillations, and economic history? 92pp

didn't use : 
From the time of the "global cooling" fears of the Richard Nixon era, past scientific studies left me with the impression that the Sun dominates climate and weather. 
By the early-2000s it seemed clear to me that the Sun was often just an intermediary, a side effect.  
For decades I've had the impression that the Sun is a dominant driver of climate and weather.  Heinrich Svensmark's work in 2008 on cosmic ray effects amplified this impression.  If my memory is correct, i
, and not just in [physics, astronomy, geology, climate, weather], but perhaps also to better u how we misunderstand things in general?

2. Do you feel that there are severe science problems not just in climate, but in all areas of science?  If so, is our best chance for salvaging Western science, the rising relative competition with, and dominance of, [Chinese, Russian] scientific analysis.   Why are they able to overcome our problematic concepts and theories, whereas our own scientists seem to be stuck?

not used : 
Considerable effort has been put into "educating" scientists about the problems with the theme that ANTHROPOGENIC CO2 dominates modern climate change.  To a large extent this has NOT worked, in spite of a fraction of scientists catching on over the last 4 decades.  
Often their analysis is based on  Western, such as instrumentation and satellites, but they also are creating wonderful datasets themselves?
