Yeah, that unprecedented sudden temperature increase over the last 100
years or so, that's _totally_ just the sun.
(facepalm)
You do know that, say, 1000 years ago the sun had already been around,
and in pretty much its current form, right?

Especially when its done because it is their job. Not because it is the
right thing to do. (If I'm reading you right.)

With regard to space, and the sun, and the planets, and topics of the month, and
SCALE,
I made a full prototype scene of the solar system (sans all those moons), and it
is indeed very VERY difficult to depict even a small portion of it without some
seriously unrealistic scaling.
I animated it to give me a cursory idea of how everything was working - I'll try
to flesh that out a little more in the future and post a sample.
