Not really true.
Solar Storm Dumps Gigawatts into Earth's Upper AtmosphereThis was the biggest dose of heat weve received from a solar storm since 2005, says Martin Mlynczak of NASA Langley Research Center. It was a big event, and shows how solar activity can directly affect our planet.
Mlynczak is the associate principal investigator for the SABER instrument onboard NASAs TIMED satellite. SABER monitors infrared emissions from Earths upper atmosphere, in particular from carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitric oxide (NO), two substances that play a key role in the energy balance of air hundreds of km above our planets surface.
Carbon dioxide and nitric oxide are natural thermostats, explains James Russell of Hampton University, SABERs principal investigator. When the upper atmosphere (or thermosphere) heats up, these molecules try as hard as they can to shed that heat back into space.
Sorry my sentence wasn’t more clear. The story you linked is in agreement with what I was trying to convey. Thanks.
