Studies have shown that global warming might not be caused by the Earth's fossil duels but the changes in the sun.
It is said that the magnetic change from the sun has doubled more in this century.
Because as the magnetic flux is linked with activity of the sunspot and the strength of sunlight reaching Earth could have probably increased the temperatures of the Earth.
There is evidence that the Sun has become more energetic. This comes from a analysis of the magnetic field between the planets. The magnetic field is caused by Solar Wind which is a stream of particles given off by the sun. This fills the solar system.
Since 1964, scientists have said that the strength of the magnetic field has become stronger. And that since 1901, the magnetic field is 2.3 times stronger!
But it is not said that the Sun has become more energetic because of the increased magnetic field. However, due to the increases, no one yet knows why the change effects the Earth.
So this change that is occurring in space could result in Global Warming and not the fossil fuels burned by us humans. Due to the Sun's activity, this has caused the temperature on Earth to rise and warm the oceans.
More research needs to be done to take action on Earth about Global Warming and the Sun.
Back in the 17th Century, the planet went through a small ice age and when there were a few sunspots on
the Sun. But unusually, back in the 12th Century, the planet was a little warmer than average. Some say the Sun was brighter at the time.
But it is also said that the Sun could be the reason to Global warming on many of the planets in our solar system. Earth, along with Mars, Pluto and the other worlds are heating up as scientists have said.
But there are also claims that say this is not true and that the Sun is not the blame to Global Warming.
Scientists are wondering what the reason could be for the warming of the other planets. These planets are warming together at the same time but no one knows why.
However, there have been other explanations about the warming of these planets. It is said that the warming on a Neptune moon called Triton, was because it was going through an extreme summer, this sort of season occurs every few hundred years. The ice on the surface of the moon might have .absorbed more heat from the Sun. Pluto's warming could be a result of an eruption since last close to the Sun in 1989. And some storm activities on Jupiter is being blamed for a cycle that brings out material from the interior which then is loft to the surface where it is heated by the Sun.
