Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth

MaxwellEdison writes "Scientists have discovered evidence of magnetic portals connecting the Earth and the Sun every 8 minutes. 'Several speakers at the Workshop have outlined how FTEs form: On the dayside of Earth (the side closest to the sun), Earth's magnetic field presses against the sun's magnetic field. Approximately every eight minutes, the two fields briefly merge or "reconnect," forming a portal through which particles can flow. The portal takes the form of a magnetic cylinder about as wide as Earth. The European Space Agency's fleet of four Cluster spacecraft and NASA's five THEMIS probes have flown through and surrounded these cylinders, measuring their dimensions and sensing the particles that shoot through.'"

    this is clearly further evidence of climate change! when will the authorities act? yet another sign of global warming, willfully ignored in the service of corporate greed! outrage. several committees must be formed, at once. they should proceed to publicly interogate someone to answer for these magnetic portals.
