Arguments that global warming in the Earth›s atmosphere of the last 70 years is partially or entirely caused by changes in the solar magnetic field are presented in the work. Global warming is probably a consequence of ionizing radiation emitted from the Sun mainly in the «rise» phase of solar activity. The ionizing radiation is positively charged particles with high energy. They penetrate deep into the Earth›s atmosphere, creating increased content of ions serving as condensation nuclei. The condensation nuclei increase cloudiness in the lower atmosphere and lower the surface air temperature. When solar activity decreases as observed in the last 70 years, the reverse process occurs – cloud cover decreases, more solar electromagnetic radiation reaches the Earth›s surface and increases the temperature. An additional argument for the presence of high-energy radiation that penetrates deeply into the Earth›s atmosphere and even reaches the Earth›s surface is the high statistically significant correlation between the fluxes of such radiation recorded by GOES series satellites in a geostationary orbit (36000 km above the Earth›s surface) and the human mortality from deadliest diseases.
