Abstract: The standard solar model proposes that the solar luminosity was 30% lower than the present level at 4.5 billion years ago (Ga). At low solar radiation, the climate model predicts that the Earth should have… read more here.

Abstract: It was shown that the history of the biosphere is closely related to processes caused by low solar luminosity. Solar radiation is insufficient to maintain the Earth’s surface temperature above the freezing point of water.… read more here.
