changes in the upper atmosphere, or even in the interplanetary medium, might affect the amount of heat generated in the Moho, and thereby indirectly affect surface temperatures.

Charles, do you have an idea how such changes could affect Moho & surface temps? Would Earth temperature increases be due to increased sunspot activity? If so, would that produce more CMEs? Is there any way the IPM would affect Earth besides via solar activity?
