Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to everyone...

    Just because it’s new to you doesn’t mean it’s new to everyone or some sort of massive cover-up, jopo. I learned more than 20 years ago about how Mars lost its atmosphere by solar wind ablation due to lack of a protective magnetic core. A single snapshot of an aurora is enough to say that extraterrestrial phenomena can profoundly affect our atmosphere. Heck, the carbon-14 we use to date biological remains only exists due to collisions between ultra-high energy charged particles with nitrogen in the upper atmosphere. None of this is remotely new, and some correlation between the solar wind and weather phenomena is utterly unsurprising.

    But, an explanation for long-term warming it most certainly ain’t. To even reach the level of hypothesis, you’d have to demonstrate:

    (a) a matching long-term trend in the solar phenomena you’ve decided to blame; and
    (b) an explanation why, despite a century and a half of known physics to the contrary, trapping of infrared radiation by carbon dioxide can’t be the explanation.

    Good luck with that.
