Shrinkage, caused by cooling.
And we could not have anticipated this?
We could have asked Costanza...
Completely unexpected!
How about if they look at the decrease in the dipolar strength of our magnetosphere. ......
According to an article I read at Spaceweather.com, NASA’a solar research site for the public, the extremely deep Solar Minimus we have just experienced is the cause for the “shrinkage” of the outer layers of our atmosphere. This analysis was published over six months ago in an article that discussed how much new information they were learning observing a Solar Minimus for the first time with modern technology like SOHO and STEREO, NASA’a two solar research satellites.
Apparently the evidence that the absence of solar activity was having a profound effect on our atmosphere is too close to an admission of the Sun’s effect on our planet for the Anthropogenic Global Warming crowd, and their original analysis has been quashed by their corrupt superiors at NASA.
