It means fusion works, and we've got about 5 Billion years left before the party is over.

It also means you should put on your sunscreen.

But a fusion system like that, sitting smack dab in the middle of our solar system, couldn't possibly have any impact at all on our climate cycles via it's various fluctuations in activity. 

So sayeth the Warmers.

Sweet, now I have another excuse to use while procrastinating.  "Yeah, I'd really love to mow the lawn, but it seems kinda silly since the sun is just going to burn out eventually anyway.  The grass will be the last of our worries then."

Hopefully not higher than SPF 45. It's all i got.  :ohno:

So after the "party is over," will everything "start over" sometime down the road? like a cycle?

It's crazy how close we are to a planetary meltdown from a simple large solar flare.   All circuit boards wiped out in an instant and this planet goes Road Warrior overnight.
