  Efforts to understand unusual weather or abrupt changes in climate have been
plagued by deficiencies of the standard solar model (SSM). While it assumes
that our primary source of energy began as a homogeneous ball of hydrogen (H)
with a steady, well-behaved H-fusion reactor at its core, observations instead
reveal a very heterogeneous, dynamic Sun. As examples, the upward acceleration
and departure of H+ ions from the surface of the quiet Sun and abrupt climatic
changes, including geomagnetic reversals and periodic magnetic storms that
eject material from the solar surface are not explained by the SSM. The present
magnetic fields are probably deep-seated remnants of very ancient origin. These
could have been generated from two mechanisms. These are: a) Bose-Einstein
condensation of iron-rich, zero-spin material into a rotating, superfluid,
superconductor surrounding the solar core and/or b) superfluidity and quantized
vortices in nucleon-paired Fermions at the core.
