But it isn't the only thing that increases or decreases the heat of our planet. <br /><br />The solar wind that is strongest when sunspots and Coronal Ejections are at their maximum greatly add to the Earth's magnetic field. An average display of the Aurora Borealis uses Billions of Watts a hit from a Coronal mass ejection can be many times that. All that electric is captured and become part of the Van Allen belts that cumulate through the iron core of the Earth and make the shield that protects us from cosmic rays. All the electrical current heats the earth in accordance with Ohms law because the Earth has a very real resistance to conducting electricity. <br /><br />When the Sun Spots go into a minimum as they are forecast to be doing now the Solar Wind dies down and the current in the Van Allen Belts decreases contributing less heat to the Earth. Probably more importantly the Belts provide less protection from cosmic rays that trigger the formation of clouds in the atmosphere just as they do in a cloud camber. If we have more clouds more of the Sun's heat is reflected ou into space further cooling or heating the Earth less.<br /><br />Add to that the Earth's orbit around the Sun. All the factors of Earth's orbit are headed in the direction of warmer. There isn't anything to do for that but wait 100,000 years or so.<br /><br />Then there are vocations. They can cool us off in a hurry. Mt. Pinatubo erupted in 1816 followed by the "year without summer" My grand-dad told it came a killing freeze every month of the year in Indiana where his grand dad farmed.<br /><br />If we in a warming trend and want to do anything about it we best start pouring more iron in the oceans to grow forams to sink the carbon to the bottom of the deeps of the oceans or something similar.Gordon Cougerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17555727096343669230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399073602591743853.post-31000078269413667752012-07-11T02:39:28.317+08:002012-07-11T02:39:28.317+08:00very good.very good.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
