Nah, it's just complicated with a lot of things to consider, ponds are a lot simpler.
There used to be a web page called "Jupiter's Dance" that went into a lot detail about a 179 year cycle with planetary movement and how it drives the solar cycle. There is probably something to it but not enough to make accurate climate predictions. My gut feeling is that the interaction between solar activity and climate has more to do with the frequency and strength of solar flares and coronal mass ejections hitting the earth and expanding the atmosphere, variance in UV light, and the production of cloud cover. Science is still trying to figure out the details.
Now if the planets align just just right maybe HBG will rule the world. I just want to know how this new 9th planet they just announced figures into all of this.
