It came from outer space

The LAT Science section ran an article last week that will likely be getting them accused of being part of the “vast-right wing conspiracy”

Rocketing solar winds may spark lightning as they buzz Earth

The activity of the sun may have more of an influence on lightning storms on Earth than was previously thought, a new study suggests.

Researchers at the University of Reading in England found that when an especially fast-moving solar wind washed over the Earth, there was a corresponding uptick in the number of lightning storms recorded on the planet.

Wait, what. You mean we don’t know what the activity of our planet’s source of light and heat may be doing to our weather patterns, and that for all we know it may run in cycles that cause the planet to heat up and cool down over hundreds or even thousands of years?

And here I thought the science was settled or something.

    Geez, it’s from the University of Reading. It would be much more credible if it was actually form the University of Science. Duh.
