Anything is possible at this point.

My thought always go to trying to figure out the "why" of these events.

There are obvious changes all around and really so many things happening at once it's difficult to separate cause from effect.

But for me, the obvious points to the changes in the sun.
Hundreds of threads here about the increase brilliance and intensity. The gradual change from mellow yellow to white hot.

How can this not have an influence on our atmosphere; even as it is effecting our neighbor planets.

But then something instinctual tells me that the changes in the sun are an effect as well.

So I couple this with other things happening; the rain of meteors for instance.

So if the changes in the sun and the increase of visiting rocks are effects of the same cause; it begs the question:

What is this cause?
