You're not wrong, but that's kind of a non-issue.

It takes on the order of hundreds of millions of years to lose that much atmosphere.



So you are saying we could crash some comets, boil the CO2/ice caps and solve the magnetosphere issue later?


well, this is a serious proposal to solve the magnetosphere-problem! We could build this AND nuke the plant.

Or we could at least use this as an indicator that the problem is solvable over a few centuries and start nuking. Better sooner than later!


Porque no los dos?
