Natural Climate Change

It is frequently heard on science shows and the like about how the sun will someday grow much larger, and how the Milky Way is set to collide at approximately the same time with Andromeda. However, I "beg to differ" so to say. Because what's really more important to us at this time, even though the latter can be pretty fascinating, is the fact that in the meanwhile, the sun is doing the exact opposite. In order to become larger than it currently is, however, it must first start to become smaller. And that is exactly what is happening. The sun is currently decreasing in size, and in the meanwhile, the light from the sun is becoming more intense. And to add to all of this whole mess, the moon is constantly retreating further and further away from Earth. Even though the rate at which it retreats might not seem like much to many (if not everybody), over the Earth whole entire timeline, this retreat will some day prove to be absolutely immense, and we will most likely be left without a moon on day. As it turns out, the moon will get far enough away from our Earth that it will most likely be attracted to another planet or cosmic object. This type of event would certainly set a new chain of events into motion. For instance, the moon could collide into Mars, after which Mars would certainly be transformed into something different, and it is extremely likely and probable, that a new planet, or at least moon, would be formed as a result of this process. So this is yet another process that will transpire probably long before the sun even begins it's "journey" in time to becoming a much larger star. And besides, by the time that the sun becomes so large as to start massive heat waves here on Earth, there will likely be deluge full of absolute conundrums that will start to occur here on Earth; and one of the main reason for this occurrence would be that the moon will have retreated far enough from the Earth as to cause our seasons to become far less stable. And so the point is that, while we may currently worry about climate change, there is still the future (especially looking really far down the future); and it is not simply a matter of "will it become warmer, or will it become colder here on Earth". The truth of the matter is that there is practically nothing at all that we can do to affect the Earth's climate. A volcanic eruption has the ability to cause far more changes in weather patterns. Even small volcanoes (they do not need to be super volcanoes) have the ability to create new micro climates and simultaneously change the global average temperature over some time. Now, there are also volcanoes called super volcanoes, which can be far, far more potent. Probably the most famous example of such a volcano would be Yellowstone. Now, how exactly do volcanoes manipulate the climate. First of all, this is a really great example of what is known as climate change, albeit it is not something that is influenced by man. Volcanoes do not simply cool, or warm, the planet, as it might seem to many. Eventually what occurs is that once a massive enough amount of debris becomes released by a volcano, it tends to lower the temperature of the surrounding air. Yet before all of that happens, there is first a release of two types of gasses. These gasses are some of the main factors to consider when trying to study natural climate change. One of these gasses is Carbon, which as many know, increases world temperatures, hypothetically speaking that is. The other forms of gas which are released by volcanic activity would be Sulfates. And these are the gasses that help in cooling the Earth, as they absorb approximately ten times less solar energy as compared to Oxygen itself. Carbon meanwhile absorbs about ten times as much solar energy as oxygen. Now, it would probably also be important to consider the fact that volcanoes are responsible for reflecting much of the solar energy, due to the fact that they are so immense, and their peaks are very often snow capped. The dark, black rocks that are often produced by these volcanoes have an interesting ability, which probably remains unknown to most people even today. I have written about this exact phenomena years ago when I first started this blog. This is a very common aspect of volcanic rocks found in Hawaii; it's their ability to filter out Carbon itself. And, over time, it is also likely that this carbon is emitted.
