Earth is protected from the full brunt of the solar wind by its magnetic field, a "bubble" created by magnetic field lines (seen above in blue in an artist's conception). But the magnetosphere is also helping the sun to steal away a tiny fraction of Earth's atmosphere, according to research announced in May 2009. -- Image courtesy NASA/MSFC

Lately it looks like a large orange, and nothing more.

Just what we need, one more damn crisis!

Let’s pump more carbon into the atmosphere so that it will be heavier and harder to drag away! :)

Blowing up the sun will stop both the theft of our atmosphere and global warming.

Al Gore - This mission, should you choose to accept it...

Surely the EPA can get on top of this.

At the current rate, our present atmospheric inventory can last at least until the sun -- midway through its life now -- turns into a red giant and engulfs Earth, Russell said.

I was sweating bullets until this last line...now I only have to worry about this problem on alternate Tuesdays...

We are all going to die! In less than 125 years, every man, woman and child now living on Earth will be dead!!!

It's Bush's fault.
