Quote:That's not how this works. It's not how any of this works. The sun going into "hibernation" (bad term, imo) has nothing to do with the damage that various Earthly factors have caused to the atmosphere already. That damage will continue to happen whether the sun is at full blast or "taking a nap".

 

If you run a fuse to a tube of nitroglycerin and light it, the nitro will blow up. If you put a tube of nitroglycerin on the ground and drop an anvil on it from ten feet, the nitro will still blow up, but for a completely different reason. Make sense? You're attributing a related event to an unrelated cause.
