Caused by the sun. It's an unstable nuclear reaction.

Do you know a stable one?

It should be replaced by a regulated light and heat source.

If some California politicians have it their way it may soon be replaced
with CFL bulbs.

I have been very happy with the CFL lights I've installed. Other than
the "make up" lights in my wife's bathroom, every bulb in the house is
one. I did the swap about two years ago. Most of them were the
cheapies I got for IIRC $6 for a pack of 3. There have been a total
of two failures to date.

I don't like CFLs and only have them in storage closets and a ceiling
fan. We have a few other fluorescents around, but I don't like them.
They take too long to come up to full brightness and have crappy
color for my tastes. I've replace a lot of other lights around the
house with halogens because I like the light better.

Even if it was, the earths temperature would not be well regulated.
You need a feedback system.

If we all pool our knowledge and wisdom we could devise a proper PID
regulator.

No, that would never work. There are some here that would deny the
temperature was rising as the penguins were bursting into flames.

Have you seen any penguins burst into flames? The only one I've seen
flaming lately is Al Gore. ...but he's a flamer for way back.
