Scientists Set Bold Plan For Future Exploration of the Sun

coondoggie writes "Our understanding of space weather and the impact of space around Earth has greatly increased in the last 10 years and if the ambitious plan the National Research Council can be implemented, the next 10 years will generate tons more scientific insight. The National Research Council issued its second research recommendation report, 'Solar and Space Physics: A Science for a Technological Society,' which represents 18 months of research by more than 85 solar and space physicists and space system engineers and lays out major scientific goals for solar exploration on the next 10 years."

Maybe this will kill Man made global warming

The "earth first" crowd will shoot themselves in the foot if this takes hold and they do the research without lying. Once the data is collected they can all call a press conference and say SHAZAM! Goooollllllllyyyyyy! We was wrong about this global warming/climate change. It really is the sun that warms up the planet, melts the polar ice caps and makes polar bears stranded on small icebergs. Man had nothing to do with it. Who would have thought something SO HUGE with SO MUCH SOLAR output could cause the earth to actually warm up, without man getting involved.
