Awesome! A one-to-one scale picture of the Sun!

Thanks! Will save for later cognitive digestion............
But what causes the vulcanism to increase?? That takes LOTS of energy. If my hunch is right, and (some/all??)of the magnetic field energy is deposited in magma, then you have the "driver" for the increase in vulcanism.
There is no question that vulcanism HAS increased. THAT there is data for. But why??? I find it hard to believe that photons hitting the earth's surface somehow drive undersea volcanoes.
Lifting an eyebrow Spock-wise: "Fascinating."
The GEICO caveman reference is a scream :-)
I’ll be tweaking libs later this afternoon, concerning their subversion of the Freedom of Speech on what is supposed to be an open-minded arts forum that’s been hijacked by a group of left-wing extremists, who banned me for having the courage to post info representing the conservative viewpoint.
I’ll be wearing a self-designed t-shirt at the party celebrating the 40th anniversary of the Maryland State Arts Council.
Besides denouncing the particular forum, there’ll be a photo of me on the front with my mouth covered by a black slash. On the slash are the words, “Thou shalt not speak.” Underneath is a quote by Lenin, “Free speech is a bourgeois prejudice.”
On the back is a Frederick Douglas Quote, “Liberty is meaningless where the right to utter ones thoughts and opinions has ceased to exist. That, of all rights, is the dread of tyrants.
Below that is a photo of Hitler and Mussolini standing together ...
Flip that: The earth’s magnetic poles - possibly/probably beginning a switch of north pole - south pole directions - is rapidly decreasing since the early 1800’s, and is rapidly moving across the Ar tic towards Siberia by several hundreds of miles. Well away from its historic position in south Hudson Bay. Previous movements in recorded decades have only been slow circles across a few dozen miles.
Change magnetic field intensity and you see a tremendous increase in cosmic ray reception (regardless of cosmic ray source intensity.) Also, you see the result - as you pointed out - in increased solar reception. Lower mag fields = less shielding = more solar reception.
Regardless of sunspot activity - which is also increasing!
I thought it was the other way around?? More cosmic ray influx = more atmospheric ionization = more nucleation sites for water drops = increased cloud cover in the stratosphere = increased albedo = cooling??
At any rate, at least this mechanism is actually being "thought about" as being yet another variable in the "global-warming/global cooling" science. The possible electromagnetic effect I'm curious about isn't even at THAT stage. I can find exactly ZERO information that it has even occurred to anyone as a possibility.
At first read, I don’t see this as very happy news - if CO2 accelerates and amplifies warming that starts from other causes we may have to cut CO2 even if the current warming was not largely caused by Co2.
I think the overall news is bad even there is a political advantage.
That decline seems ever more ominous the later that nbr 24 is delayed, and the lower that the earth’s magnetic field gets, but I’m (yet) ready to declare the next Ice Age is coming. Hansen has already done that anyway - back in 1970.
We “could” cut CO2 to zero - and it would not make any difference.
>>We could cut CO2 to zero - and it would not make any difference.<<
While I don’t believe the simple “global warming is all human caused theory”, you are pretty much out alone among scientists if you believe that cutting CO2 to zero would have no effect.
PING !
But, since the CO2 levels have risen steadily since 1998, and that temps have remained stable since 1998 (actually declining just slightly), you cannot claim that CO2 emissions are responsible for temp changes.
However, removing ALL of mankind’s CO2 emissions would have a negligible effect as the earth warms 2.0 more degrees (as it has in the past every 100,000 years), or cools 5 degrees - as it has in the past every 100,000 years -— all with NO man-caused CO2 release.
Uh, oh. Algore kinda looks like an idiot at this point - no?

Really? Did you notice this from ScienceDaily?
Positronium molecules created in a lab
RIVERSIDE, Calif., Sept. 12 (UPI) -- U.S. physicists have, for the first time, created positronium molecules in a laboratory.
The scientists at the University of California-Riverside said each briefly stable molecule is made up of a pair of electrons and a pair of their anti-particles, called positrons.
The research paves the way for studying multi-positronium interactions that might one day help develop fusion power generation, as well as directed energy weapons such as gamma-ray lasers, the scientists said, adding the achievement might also help explain how the observable universe ended up with so much more matter than antimatter.
The research by Professors Allen Mills and David Cassidy and colleagues is to appear in the Sept. 13 issue of the journal Nature.

What could be bad, unless of course it had been Iammadjohn news from Iran?
