Radiation from the sun relentlessly bombards the earth, and our atmosphere protects us from photons and solar wind.  How much does this solar radiation contribute to climate change?  On this program, we'll visit with Judith Lean, researcher with the Naval Research Laboratory's Space Science Division.  She'll talk about solar radiation, solar cycles, and whether these cycles are reflected in the Earth's ever-increasing surface temperature.
