If you are anti-”politically-degraded”-science are you anti-”science”?

I want to know about the bacteria that they found growing on the OUTSIDE of the space station!

OK!! Everybody pay attention!
Lesson for today:
1. The sun is 1,300,000 times as big as the earth.
2. The sun is a giant nuclear furnace that controls the climates of all its planets.
3. The earth is one of the sun’s planets.
4. The earth is a speck in comparison to the size of the sun.
5. Inhabitants of the earth are less than specks.
Study Question: How do less-than-specks in congress plan to control the sun?

You posed that question in a similar thread months ago as post #5:
I responded in post #14:
I thought my response was sarcasm until this thread showed up later:

Doesn’t surprise me, go do “wiki extremophiles”.
You will read about bacteria that leave in deep ocean volcanic vents were the water is boiling and full of dissolved metals. Also there are bacterial colonies that live in the fissures & micro-cracks of subsurface rocks, not at all favorable conditions for organic life.

Recommended book the late Dr Thomas Gold’s “ Deep Hot Biosphere” (Was at Cornell!), physicist - he worked with Bondi, & Hoyle.

The study of climate has always given credit to solar activity as a major contributor of earth’s climate. Another major contributor is the ages old process of mother nature.

Isn’t it funny that libs blame CO2 for global warming, when everyone knows that it’s Oxygen that makes fires burn hotter, and CO2 fire extinguishers put out the fires.

Just sayin’

I read a book (can't remember the name) that posits that lower sun activity lessens the protective power of Earth's magnetic shield allowing more cosmic rays into the atmosphere, thus inducing cloud nucleation and hence greater cloudiness which cools the Earth.

There's so much we don't know.

Yes, 'The Chilling Stars'! Thanks!

Maybe it's the cosmic rays hammering my memory?

Also as the galaxy rotates the solar system which is imbedded in that rotation transverses section of deep space. (one galactic rotation is like 225 - 250 million years!) This “space” has higher subatomic particle density (and maybe more energetic!) which means more particles entering the atmosphere which create particle showers which ratchet up cloud formation which significant cool the planet. The author claims major glaciations correlate with different positions on the solar system’s orbital path.
Then ad in fluxuations in the earth’s magnetic field, the sun’s magnetic field, & Jupiter & Saturn’ magnetic fluxuations. These sometimes are in sync meaning maximum protection, mostly aren’t sometimes even disappear for awhile. If all are at zero, it likely bad very bad!

atmospheric and oceanic global currents and patterns as starters.
