Worst solar flares in history - Space.com
I post this because it illustrates my point is that we really don’t know enough about our environment to go blaming ourselves for all that is going “wrong” with it.
The worst solar flare on record happened nearly 500 years ago. Of course there might have been ones that were even worse before, but … well, we haven’t been keeping records about them that long.
Now, if the ones listed above are the worst in our “recorded” history, then our data about our 4 billion-year-old sun is a tad bit on the short side. And if all they say about what damage a solar flare/solar storm can do to the planet is true … then maybe there are bigger things at play than the feeble efforts of human beings.
Now, yes, the planet is infested with those creatures and they really are a bother and they probably are straining the resources, like any other animal does when it doesn’t have a natural predator keeping its population in check.
But that is a whole other problem and probably has little to do with whether the climate is getting colder or warmer.
