Popis: The influence of dust coming from space into the Earth’s atmosphere on cloudiness, albedo, and climate is discussed. It is shown that the climate changes that have occurred recently and in the distant past could be associated with this dust. A cooling of the Earth’s climate in the first half of the 21st century is predicted. This prediction is based on a spectral analysis of temperature data from a global network of weather stations for 1880–2006 using information about the motions of planets that control the entry of dust from space into the Earth’s atmosphere.
