Sun, Earth, Neptune and the Arsenal of Truth

I'm going, as they say, far off the liberal reservation. And I have an admission to make, I'm a bit of a climate denier just as I'm a also an election denier. As for the latter, I join the dedicated Soros acolyte and bag woman nonsense- blathering Stacey Abrams and our successful President Donald Trump in this belief.

What NASA says about Jolly Old Mr Sun

But, getting back to the sun, read what NASA says about Jolly Old Mr Sun, our nearest star (NASA, Is The Sun Causing Global Warming)

"The Sun can influence Earth’s climate, but it isn’t responsible for the warming trend we’ve seen over recent decades. The Sun is a giver of life; it helps keep the planet warm enough for us to survive. We know subtle changes in Earth’s orbit around the Sun are responsible for the comings and goings of the ice ages. But the warming we’ve seen in recent decades is too rapid to be linked to changes in Earth’s orbit and too large to be caused by solar activity.

If the Sun were responsible for global warming, we would expect to see warming throughout all layers of the atmosphere, from the surface to the upper atmosphere (stratosphere). But what we actually see is warming at the surface and cooling in the stratosphere. This is consistent with the warming being caused by a buildup of heat-trapping gases near Earth's surface, and not by the Sun getting “hotter.'"

Putting the lie to NASA's leftward claim

But what about the thermosphere? It lies in Earth's atmosphere between the lower mesosphere and outer exosphere.

According to UCAR, the Center for Science Education:

"The thermosphere is a layer of Earth's atmosphere that is directly above the mesosphere and below the exosphere. It extends from about 90 km (56 miles) to between 500 and 1,000 km (311 to 621 miles) above Earth's surface.

Temperatures climb sharply in the lower thermosphere (below 200 to 300 km altitude), then level off and hold fairly steady with increasing altitude above that height. Solar activity strongly influences temperature in the thermosphere. The thermosphere is typically about 200° C (360° F) hotter in the daytime than at night, and roughly 500° C (900° F) hotter when the Sun is very active than at other times. Temperatures in the upper thermosphere can range from about 500° C (932° F) to 2,000° C (3,632° F) or higher."

NASA remains, as a federal agency, hip deep in the old alarmist global warming kool-aid©

This puts the lie to NASA's leftward claim that "we would expect to see warming throughout all layers of Earth's atmosphere." But we do! The thermosphere is very, very hot. Hmmm, NASA remains, as a federal agency, hip deep in the old alarmist global warming kool-aid©, popularised by Barack Obama and his hustlers and lately by the jawboning members of the Biden junta.

With the heat of thermosphere put to bed and thinking about NASA's claim that the nearest star, Mr Sun, has little or no effect on Earth's atmosphere and temperature, let's look at Neptune, the gigantic ice giant inside Pluto's eccentric orbit.

NASA's Hubble site explains something rather odd and contradictory to their claims about the sun and our atmosphere:

"The Sun's influence on Neptune became increasingly obvious when astronomers looked at 30 years of Neptune observations with the Hubble and Keck telescopes. Neptune's abundance of clouds waxes and wanes over an 11-year cycle. The Sun also has an 11-year cycle where it becomes stormy as its magnetic fields become entangled, increasing sunspot number and rate of violent outbursts.

The link between Neptune and solar activity is surprising to planetary scientists because Neptune is our solar system's farthest major planet and receives sunlight with about 0.1% of the intensity Earth receives. Yet Neptune's global cloudy weather seems to be driven by solar activity, and not the planet's four seasons, which each last approximately 40 years."

Sun controls Neptune's clouds but it has, at a mere 93 million miles from us, no effect on our atmosphere or global "warming"

Funny how Jolly Old Mr Sun can affect the clouds on Neptune, which lies a mere 2.7 billion miles from the earth. Yup, Mr Sun controls Neptune's clouds but it has, at a mere 93 million miles from us, a single Astronomical Unit away, no effect on our atmosphere or global "warming".

Like so many far left solons and cranks, NASA speaks out of both sides of their mouth. As for me, with sets of stocks being measured for me so that Antifa, Democrats, our far left media and those who worship Biden like a god, can pelt me with rotten vegetables and rocks while insuring that I can't fight back, I remain a physicist at heart.

Remember, when countering these absurd climate change arguments which have dogged us for fifty years, like the Arctic becoming ice free 15 years ago, the growing dearth of polar bears while their numbers increase, combined with the totally inane and slightly fallacious ongoing nattering of John Fawbs Kerry and Greta Thunberg, the latter a climate guru, high schooler and Nobel Prize nominee, use the available published facts. The sun's effects on Neptune are but one item in our arsenal of truth.
