Climate Change



This is a very well done and fair video. I have just one problem. The author of the video treats some things that are now variables in the climate change equation as if they were historical constants going forward. The video states that the Sun is getting stronger and this increase in displayed as pretty much a straight line. However, the amount of solar and space radiation that will be getting into Earth's atmosphere will be changing due to the changing of Earth's magnetic poles (and therefore the Earth's magnetic field).

Scientists and climate change advocates should be well aware of these changes by now. Just from the past month:

- Business Insider has a good look at what could happen if the magnetic poles flip including a very informative video.

- Gizmodo - models can't keep up with migrating magnetic North Pole.

- Shifting North Magnetic Pole is affecting everything from cell phones to submarines. (Everything it seems except climate change models.)

- Earth's magnetic field is acting up and geologists don't know why.

Our magnetic fields keep out harmful space radiation but our magnetic fields are weakening while the magnetic poles change. How will this effect the climate? Is there anything humans can do to try to minimize potential harm? Those are the real questions

Try to address the evidence. And try not to be condescending when you do it.
