DEAR SOPHIA,

I HOPE YOU HAD A CHANCE TO SEE THE NORTHERN LIGHTS LAST NIGHT. IT HAS TO DO WITH THE 11 AND 22 YEAR CYCLE OF THE SUN. I WILL TEACH YOU MORE ABOUT SOLAR CYCLES AND THEIR LONG-TERM INFLUENCE ON CLIMATE. THERE ARE ACTUALLY EVEN LARGER CYCLES OF THE SUN WHICH INFLUENCES THE WEATHER ON EARTH AND ACTUALLY ON THE OTHER PLANETS. FOR EXAMPLE, IT DOES INFLUENCE THE WEATHER ON MARS. WE KNOW THIS FROM OUR PROBES ON MARS RIGHT NOW. THERE IS ACTUALLY A LARGER MULTI-CENTURY CYCLE AND ANOTHER CYCLE THAT LASTS FOR MANY THOUSANDS OF YEARS. ONE FACT PEOPLE OVERLOOK IS THAT FROM THE TIME OUR SUN WAS BORN IT IS INCREASINGLY GETTING HOTTER AND LARGER WHICH HAS TO DO WITH THE LAWS OF PHYSICS. IT IS VERY SIMPLE.

THE SUN IS FUSING HYDROGEN INTO HELIUM. AS IT DOES THIS, ENERGY IS BEING RELEASED. BUT WHAT IS ALSO HAPPENING IS HELIUM IS THEN BEING FUSED INTO THE NEXT ELEMENT, WHICH RELEASES EVEN MORE ENERGY. SO EVERY SECOND THE SUN EXISTS, IT IS CREATING DENSER MATTER AND THEREFORE IS EMITTING MORE ENERGY DUE TO THE FUSION PROCESS OF FUSING HEAVIER ELEMENTS.

OUR SUN WILL NOT BE ABLE TO CREATE ANY HEAVIER ELEMENT THAN IRON. ONCE IT STARTS PRODUCING IRON, OUR SUN WILL DIE. BUT AS IT INCREASINGLY CREATES HEAVIER ELEMENTS UP TO IRON, THE SUN WILL CONTINUE TO GROW LARGER AND HOTTER UNTIL IT BECOMES A RED GIANT AND THEN DIES. THAT IS WHY THE SUN IS CONTINUING TO GROW LARGER AND WHY THE SOLAR ACTIVITY GOVERNS OUR CLIMATE ON THIS PLANET AND THE OTHERS.

THAT IS SOMETHING THAT CLIMATE CHANGE ADVOCATES DON’T FACTOR IN THEIR THEORIES OF CLIMATE CHANGE. SINCE THE TIME OUR PLANET WAS FORMED, OUR SUN HAS BEEN AFFECTING OUR CLIMATE DUE TO THE BASIC LAWS OF FUSION PHYSICS.

THE AURORA BOREALIS IS A VERY MINOR SYMPTOM OF HOW THE SUN AFFECTS OUR CLIMATE AND WHETHER OR NOT LIFE CAN EXIST ON A PLANET WITHOUT A MAGNETIC PULL AND ATMOSPHERE. IF WE DID NOT HAVE A NICKLE IRON MOLTEN CORE, THEN EARTH WOULD NOT HAVE A MAGNETIC SHIELD AND AN AURORA BOREALIS WOULD DESTROY LIFE ON EARTH.

LOVE,

DAD
