Isn't tha just the barycentric theory which gets short shrift with most solar scientists? I'm no expert but I recall there's a 19byear Jupiter /Saturn cycle and others which make the centre of gravity of solar system moves in a kind of spiral and sometimes it's outside the diameter of the sun. The effects a further complicated by the fact orbital eccentricity changes and all orbits are in a slightly different plane.

All that said the planets having an effect on the Sun doesn't seem that far fetched to me.

Good advice from Jame Dellingpole

"Beatrice wind farm in Scottish milestone power output"

Not mentioned in that very story (which is light on info all round):

"Migrants building £2.6bn windfarm paid fraction of minimum wage
This article is more than 7 months old
Workers on Beatrice project in Scotland have included irregular migrants on under £5 an hour"

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) and the Rail, Maritime and Transport Workers’ union (RMT) have said, however, that the use of cheap foreign labour instead of local workers is a growing problem in the sector’s subcontracting chains. They have accused the government of failing to protect workers.

A group of Russian workers recruited as relief crew on the giant crane ship contracted to carry out the initial construction on the Beatrice windfarm were detained by immigration officials at Aberdeen airport in April 2017.

They were being brought in to the country on seafarer identity documents, intended for foreign crew leaving UK waters immediately, instead of the official permits required of people from outside the European Economic Area (EEA) entering the UK to work.

Permits have not historically been available for lower skilled people from non-EEA countries work on vessels that operate in the UK’s territorial waters.

But in an extraordinary relaxation of immigration rules, the Home Office granted a six-month, time-limited waiver to the windfarm industry to use non-EEA workers on 21 April 2017. The ITF said it was needed to give the Russians stuck at Aberdeen airport leave to enter.

An ITF inspection on board the crane ship in the Moray Firth the following month found more than 140 migrant workers, the majority from Russia and some from Indonesia.

Contracts for some of them, seen by the Guardian, set rates of pay that were a fraction of the UK minimum wage.

In the immigration concession the Home Office said: “Firms involved in the construction and maintenance of windfarms within territorial waters should look to regularise the position of their workers.” However the concession has since been extended twice and is now valid until April 2019.

Amber Rudd, who was home secretary at the time of the concession, had been energy secretary when the Beatrice project was launched, and promised it would “provide home-grown clean energy boosting skills and create jobs and financial security for working people and their families in Scotland and across the UK”.

Beatrice is a joint venture led by the privatised utility Scottish and Southern Electricity (SSE), and is one of the largest investments made in Scottish infrastructure. It is due to be completed next year.

The SSE consortium won a licence to develop the windfarm in UK territorial waters with pledges that it would aim to recruit locally.

Other people's money?

Isn't it wonderful that school children today can decide to become world experts in Climate Science, and take a year off school to lecture, without knowing any science? No more Jolly Hockey Sticks for Greta. She could even win the Nobel Prize that Mann claimed.

It is a perfect strategy, if the Shadow Cabinet are realising that Unreliable Power is an unsustainable Energy Policy, and want to see how much of a kicking they get for saying so. The Liberals have opted for full Green and Remain, so Labour have to offer conflicting messages on both without a decision.
