   NO! I haven't.    
      
      
   BUT!!! I've seen message traffic in here about planets and Solar activity,   
   so those `subjects must be *ON TOPIC* here.   
      
   It is the SUN which drives various forces on the Earth which alters climate   
   here, as well as various influences from non-Solar System sources, such as   
   sudden bursts of energy from space that happened so far in the distant    
   past that the dinosaurs still roamed the Earth, and their effects are just   
   now arriving here.   
      
   Not only that...the SUN itself has so many `cycles' about it that Man hasn't   
   even been able to accurately time some of them (we either haven't existed   
   long enough to know of the existence of some of them...or are too young   
   technologically to have enough data on them to gain anything of value from   
   their operation in the overall Solar science).   
      
   The relative `blink-of-an-eye' of Man's existence as a civilized society,   
   and the small extent of the study, measure and records-keeping, in relation   
   to the existence of the Solar System as a whole, and the Earth's evolving   
   of intelligent life, is hardly anything to base any `science is settled'   
   claim on.   
      
   It wasn't that long ago we were `supposedly' heading into another Ice Age   
   (the mid-1970'?).    
      
   The weather affects everyone. So does the climate.    
      
   There's no reason these things can't be discussed rationally, without a bunch   
   of insults and threats. At least not that I see. Your mileage may vary.   
      
   In any case, I've seen message traffic on Solar System activity in here, so   
   discussion of Solar activity must be *on-topic* as well.
