Listers may find this NASA announcement about a global eruption on
the Sun of interest and some may even suspect a connection with
climate change and corals.

Many scientists have proposed that events on the sun, ie., sunspot
abundance are related to climate change especially the lack
documented lack of sunspots for around 100 years that is associated
with the little ice age. Yes I know the IPCC does not consider the
sun significant and I have read all their reasons and am awasre that
they remain fully committed to CO2. It will be interesting to see how
this all plays out now that we have satellites that specifically
monitor the sun. Gene
