i agree, but that doesnt change the science.

A quote from Lucie Green, a Royal Society fellow at the Mullard space facility:
Quote:
It will have a small cooling effect, but from speaking to people who do climate studies, the cooling effect is not going to be able to outweigh the global warming that we have at the moment. So yes, the Sun, when it gets dimmer it will not be providing us with as much energy, so the consequence of the Earth from that will be cooling, but then you got all these other factors playing out as well; greenhouse effect, trapping of radiation. So I don't think that the cooling of the Sun will in any way counteract the global warming we have.
sorry, i did it like that so i dont lose it. and edited
i dunno, i did stellar evolution at uni :p
but yes, i have knowledge but am no expert.
having said that, even if Lucie Green knows more about the sun than anyone else in the world, that doesnt mean he knows everything. there is plenty of unknown and undiscovered knowledge out there, especially about the sun.
