The Sun Is Getting Hotter

New studies indicate that the sun is growing in solar irradiance and getting hotter adding heat to an Earth already thought to be warming by the Greenhouse effect.

Is Al Gore talking about this?

I don't believe he's mentioned this small little bit of science info to his lecture series on the subject of global warming yet.

In about 200 million years from now we won't have to worry about solar fluctuations contributing to any current warming trend.

Ach- we'll have a sunshade up by then.

Here's one I made to go in front of Venus. There are mirrors behind the planet to light the dark side during the long night..

Chances are, the closest star system that is very similiar to our own sun in terms of it's own evolution (same basic size, age, type and luminosity), Alpha Centauri is probably on the same schedule (or close to it) on becoming a Red Giant sun just like ours some day. So, I would chose for starters, heading to Zeta2 Reticuli to set up shop before our sun starts to turn up the heat a little. I think it probably already has. 200 million years from now, an air conditioner won't do you much good. Come to think of it, neither will a cold beer.

 

We might have to start this plan a little sooner than expected:

all stars undergo this process, its a byproduct of the gravity-fusion process.

 

I'd say our sun's evolution into becoming a Red Giant in a few billion years, to some extent, has probably already started. If mankind wants to hang out a little longer in our galaxy, no time better than the present than to start making some plans to get off planet Earth before things start to heat up around here. 200 million years and counting > 199,000,000, 198,000,000.........

 

Hello all

How about this for an "idea"

First you have a "headlight effect" for EM radiation emitted from a moving EM source (the Sun).
Second you have a dipole measurement of the Sun's velocity with respect to the CMBR (U2 Anisotropy Experiment, COBE and WMAP data).
Third you have the intersection of the Earth's ecliptic orbit (currently within 12deg) with the measured velocity vector of the Sun.
Fourth you have a 100,000 year cycle for Earth's ecliptic angle with respect to the ecliptic mean of the solar system.

What this gives is a 100,000 cycle of the Earth moving into and out of a stronger solar flux of EM radiation produced by the "headlight effect" of the Sun's motion through space.

 

What is the atmosphere like on Mars? What is its environmental history?

Does it have weather cycles?

Can we compare events on Mars with events on Earth?

 

Well, they orbit the same star and derive all their energy from that star. It's also pretty clear that man is not responsible for any change in temperature on Mars. So if the temperature on both planets is rising, and the large nuclear reactor they derive all their energy from is heating up, the conclusion seems obvious.

Of course reaching the obvious conclusion would not suit the political needs of global warming alarmists. So it will be delayed as long as possible.

 

I'm not to sure about martian rain showers or snow storms, but definetly there's probably a couple of frozen ponds somewhere on it's surface. Break out your ice skates.

 

Thanks.

Do we know much about weather conditions on other planets?

 

cant cure cancer, cant cure aids, cant cure a headache, can make fake cheese. what will the sun be like in 5 billion years? mkay

 

Can't use an apostrophe.
