I'm going to let everyone in on a little secret. Warming of the earth is almost entirely dictated by the Sun.

Cosmic rays have a pretty big impact as well.

But we are going to have a Solar Minimum in the next couple of decades and people will be wishing for some warming when that happens. That's hard science and inevitable.

If the Sun was a giant hollow ball, and you cut a hole in the top and filled the ball with Earths, how many Earths would it take to fill the Sun???

Answer: 1,200

The power of the Sun is immense. Nothing we do here on Earth can compete with or modify it in any way at all.

Lol, the volume of the Sun is approximately 1.3 million times the volume of the Earth, not 1,200. If you wanted to keel the spherical shape of the Earth and not just look at the pure volume, then about 1,000,000 Earths could fit inside the Sun. I believe your 1,200 figure might be referring to Earths going into Jupiter.

You are right. I don't know where I heard that before. I was impressed with 1,200.
