An interesting hunch was presented in a recent letter to the editor that climate change is caused by to solar changes.
In fact, one researcher, Dr. Willie Soon (paid by fossil fuel companies) was hired to “pin it on the sun” but was unable to legitimately prove it. His work was discredited. (Google it).
In fact, the global temperature is still increasing while the sun is in a cooling phase.
Why is increasing carbon dioxide the culprit?
Here is an illustration: A microwave oven emits frequencies that excite (vibrate) water molecules. Result? Warmer food.
The warmed earth emits infrared (heat) frequencies that excite (vibrate) CO2 molecules in the air. Result? Warmer atmosphere. Satellites confirm this capture of heat by CO2.
The results are piling up. The number of billions of dollars in climate-based disasters have increased five to nine times since the 1980s, We must rein in this monster, before we hit the many irreversible tipping points that lurk in the future.
The news is not all bad! The new IRA bill provides rebates and tax credits for clean energy. The average homeowner could save $1,800 a year by electrifying his or her home. And, we would have cleaner air, less asthma, fewer carcinogens, as fossil fuel use shrinks. Check out www.rewiringamerica.org to learn more.
