amansscientiae is on a distinguished road
I have a simple hypothesis, It would seem the earth has certain criteria for all things upon to live.?

The heat from the Earth's core amounts to 50mW/m^2. Solar constant is 250W/m^2 averaged over day, night and latitude. Solar forcing needed to explain global warming is several W/m^2. So your hypothesis misses the mark by close to a couple orders of magnitude. Apart from that... good thinking!:-)
