Still looking for evidence that anybody is caring about the "dome".

Good point!
This thread has gotten a bit off track from where it started.
We've gone from the pros and cons of "Climate Change" = Anthropogenic(Human Caused) or Natural; to details and nuances of geology, and lately a spitting contest on credentials and authenticity.
And this is a four year old thread just revived a few days ago ...
So trying to change direction back, here's something that may not get enough credit for it's effects on Earth and occasional tweaks to "climate";
A huge solar flare just struck Earth — and there may be bigger ones to come, experts say
...
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash in the lower right portion of the image– at 11:57 p.m. EST on April 19, 2022. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and is colorized in SDO channel color blue. NASA/SDO
The weather on the
sun is frightful.
For the past few weeks,
solar flares have been violently erupting from the sun, and a few of them have whizzed past Earth. The solar flares have been so strong and powerful that they caused
radio blackouts in Australia. One of the solar flares last week was the most powerful in the past five years, according to
Space Weather Live.
Though they may seem unusual, the strong solar flares are a side effect of a natural, seasonal cycle that occurs on the sun. Earth's sun has recurrent "seasons," much like Earth — a phenomenon known as the
solar cycle, which lasts for about 11 Earth years. Currently, the Sun is going through its 25th solar cycle since counting began in 1755. Scientists track this cycle by counting the Sun's number of sunspots; when the sun has the fewest sunspots, it is in its solar minimum phase of the solar cycle. When the number of sunspots reach their pinnacle, the sun is undergoing its solar maximum phase of its solar cycle. During the solar maximum phase of the sun, solar activity increases — hence, the gusty space storm occurring at the moment.
