Our planet is scifi as hell. We've got natural magnetic shielding to protect our UV-blocking ozone layer from solar winds. This planet is so damn cozy<3

    You know it's too expensive to fix for the people and companies with more wealth than 99.99999% of us, and with the decision maker(s) not valuing any future beyond their expected lifespan, and I don't think any of them think the previous generation will be the last generation to die

    Don't worry.

    They have plans underway to terrorise us with intentionally worsening it under the pretence of trying to mend it, to induce us into obedience under their tyranny, so we don't rise up against what they're doing.

    Sleep tight.

    But is that unusual? That's just pretty normal, no?

    Any planet with a liquid core is bound to have one.

    Maybe‽

    We don't have much of a basis for comparison outside of our solar system just yet, but we should have better data soon.

    And it being "normal" would just make it more science fictiony. =D
