Sure did, they scrubbed government websites.

"non solar components"... are you talking about distance from the sun? Why else would Venus be too hot, and Mars be too cold?

Mars doesn't have any to speak of, Earth has a lot and Venus has loads of it. Combine those type of things with distance to the sun, axis of the planet and planetary rotation and spin and about a Gazillion other things contribute to regulation of the atmosphere.

Did you quote that paragraph from somewhere or do you actually know this stuff - because I have questions?

Here's one... Obviously we feel the affects of the sun down here on the surface of the earth... heat, UV rays, our bodies get Vitamin D, etc... implying that these are things that penetrate the magnetic field above the earth. What is the magnetic or metallic property in the solar winds/storms that subjects them to the earth's magnetic field, so that the magnetic fields attract them towards the earth's poles ?

Instead of smacking yourself on the head why not google? There's lots of info available on these very interesting questions.

It’s happened before. Mini freeze - lasted several months globally .

DescriptionDuring the period 1645–1715, in the middle of the Little Ice Age, there was a period of low solar activity known as the Maunder Minimum. The Spörer Minimum has also been identified with a significant cooling period between 1460 and 1550. Wikipedia
