  1. As the magnetic field strength decreases it allows solar radiation to penetrate deeper into the atmosphere. This in turn heats up the atmosphere. You can Google the two charts, one of the magnetic field strength, and the other one is the average atmospheric temperature. Yes, the atmosphere is warming, but not from carbon dioxide.

  3.  @snakesareadorable8515  Wait until the solar wind begins stripping the atmosphere like it did when Mars lost its magnetic field. The clue will be a trend towards lower barometric pressure readings.
