And I just got done reading the thread about the magnetic field weakening, and continuing to weaken. The article mentioned a weaker field would not protect us as much from a solar flare.
And I’m yelling “And what about the every day solar radiation that keeps us warm!!!??? More of that is hitting the earth too!!!”
Now I need to go see if any of those climate “experts” figured the weakening field into their models?
Read my posts 53 and 57. They explain this.
“And I’m yelling “And what about the every day solar radiation that keeps us warm!!!??? More of that is hitting the earth too!!!”
No - light = photons = a different form and wavelength of energy we see/get from the sun. That - light output (photons) does not seem as affected by the solar minimums/maximums.
What can be affected is the light that reaches the ground/lower atmosphere is/however that path is affected/reflected back by clouds and however clouds/cloud formation might be affected by higher energy “cosmic radiation” - the kind of high energy particles (like gama rays for instance) that effect life on the surface the most, when they reach the surface/life at the surface.
Uh, no. Charged particles vs photons. Photons not affected by magnetic fields. Now, as more charged particles penetrate the atmosphere, more clouds are formed due to charge nucleation, so fewer photons reach the ground and warm the earth. Instead, the upper atmosphere gets warmer.
