Yes, perhaps I should eliminate #3 from my argument? Do you have better wording for me? Thanks.
Not really other than just as in the scale of the sun, the earth is just a spec in a very large and cold vacuum warmed only by the sun and what little in comparison by the magma core of the earth.
The bigger point they all miss is just how much the dark side of our orb cools on a daily basis. They refuse to acknowledge the “climate” of the sun and the overbearing effects it has on our daily lives.
One of my little gotcha moments I use with the environuts who are oblivious to the effects of the sun is to ask them to imagine if the sun was dialed down just 25% or snuffed out altogether. The looks on their faces is stunning.
