I’m pretty confident in Tidal Heating due to Milankovitch cycles ripping open the Tonga Trench or the Peru/Chile Trench as the drivers of the short term weather conditions. El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO).

The longer term climate change events are due to Gravity Waves emanating from the active Galactic Core, which also exhibits wave-like behavior.

Many astrophysicists describe major cosmic ray events as causing major increase in cloud formation and thrusting the Earth as well all as causing by the eruptions of the Tambora eruption and Mount Pinatubo eruption to a cooling event.

Tim adds:

I agree. And gravity waves influence what's happening insde the sun too and THAT undoubtedly influences our climate in ways that are as yet unclear. We've only scratched the surface of what makes climate tick.

Magnetic effects too. I don't think we really understand how things like solar magnetic storms or magnetic reconnect events influence our weather/climate but I have little doubt they do.
