I was placed half-way between misery and the sun

Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.

It’s not the CO2, it’s the SUN.  Is there a correlation between the sun activity and the earth’s temperature?  Sure, if you believe Piers Corbyn.  http://www.weatheraction.com/

What about earthquakes and volcanoes?  Possibly? or surely?

A review of historical records was performed for 350 years of global volcanic activity (1650-2009) and seismic (earthquake) activity for the past 300 years (1700 to 2009) within the continental United States and then compared to the Sun's record of sunspots as a measure of solar activity.

According to this study, there exists a strong correlation between solar activity and the Earth's largest seismic and volcanic events.

They found an impressive degree of correlation for global volcanic activity (>80.6%) and for the largest USA earthquakes (100% of the top 7 most powerful) versus solar activity lows.

And lastly, is radioactive decay rate altered by solar activity?

It's time for the human race to enter the solar system.

To correct a natural indifference I was placed half-way between misery and the sun. Misery kept me from believing that all was well under the sun, and the sun taught me that history wasn't everything.
