A flurry of solar activity in early March dumped enough heat in Earth's upper atmosphere to power every residence in New York City for two years. The heat has since dissipated, but there's more to come as the solar cycle intensifies.

    Tesla could harness it. Why can't you NASA? You have to be Conscious...

    The take-home science message WRT the failed CAGW theory is that CO2 in this instance actually acts to PROTECT us from catastrophic solar heating by re-radiating 95% of the heat energy back out to space.

    This is even more proof along with the absence of the predicted 'hot spot' in the mid tropospere that CAGW is an unfounded claim by a world political organization, the UN, to afford them more political control over us & undermine our national sovereignty..

    Liberals operate their agenda off of emotion because they have no solutions to anyone's problem. In fact, these commie pigs running our country create nonsolutions to manmade disasters so they can pass laws to control our lives taking away our liberty one stinking Bush, Clinton, Bush, Obama presidency after another. Throw them all out because now we have real data that makes Nobel Prize winners like Al Gore and Obama look like raging FOOLS!

    You had me up until you took the giant leap from a political lie to the UN trying to control us.

    They get it wrong again. A black body radiating does not direct its radiation 180 degrees from it self back toward the source. That is a mirror effect. Not the effect of radiation. What they are seeing is light energy not being absorbed, by a black body, but the wave reaction too an obstruction, that is the confusing part for particle scientists, they have to go back to the 60's theory of wave/particle, radiation, to see why again.

    2:41 - NASA can probe all our planets, but they can't select stock photographs without really disgusting finger nails.

    The Heart of jesus learned, "how to harness all this power"!! Remember His Ascension? Into The Light. What does that say about God? That, "when you "Love God" to see Him more within all the things you do, God will protect 'THAT HEART'.. IN YOU!!

    We can harness part of that energy, when we clearly understand the mechanism behind its interaction with the geomagnetic field!
