Astronomy/climate change

Question
QUESTION: Sir, Are you familiar with the studies being done at the Danish national space Center(institute) on solar winds and climate change?If so, do you have an opinion on the results of their study?

ANSWER: Hello,

Sorry - but I've seen no such studies referenced in any publication, nor have I heard of them. Can you provide a web link? If not, some other source (e.g. magazine article or journal paper)?

If not then I can have no opinion on the results of the study unless you are able to relate the primary findings to me.

Answer
I'm really sorry but it doesn't help at all.

The first link you posted brings up the message:

"The item you requested does not exist on this server or cannot be served.

Please double check the web address or use the search function on this page to find what you are looking for. "

The second link you provided is all in Danish, so is entirely unintelligible.

If you can find any other sources, or can summarize the findings yourself, that would be useful.

All the best,
