"Correlation does not imply causation." Statistical evidence is abundant for sunspot counts--the Chinese were observing them long before telescopes. But statistical data for volcanoes is limited--there are essentially no data for most of the Earth's volcanism, under the ocean. I have anecdotal evidence that big eruptions occur at the peak of low-count sunspot cycles; Kilauea tends to start eruptions at solar max but Mauna Loa does not.
Another line of reasoning is proof by induction--what do we see elsewhere? Volcanism on Io is definitely related to Jupiter, and the Io torus is a powerful force in the Jovian system. Saturn induces ice-volcanism on Enceladus. It would be naïve to think Earth does not respond to the Sun.
What about chemical evidence? I am suggesting the Sun induces nuclear fusion in the Earth's volcanoes, so one would look for something like tritium. University of Hawaii and BYU have not found tritium at Mauna Loa and the Galapagos, accepted science is that volcanoes do not produce tritium. Local variations are attributed to hydrological factors
Yet I have a letter from July, 2001,--from The Department of Energy, National Nuclear Security Administration, Director of Office of Tritium Production, Defense Programs--clearly stating that "volcanism produces an excess of radioactive tritium ..." My Congresswoman at the time was trying to get answers for me, but after 9/11 things got really weird.
SO why am I putting this here now? I've tried politicians (too scary for them), scientists (can't think outside the box), and posting on other fora.
Just looking for input and discussion!
