I haven't heard about this one. Any references I could read?

I have been wondering about 3 for a couple years. The Earth's field gets banged on quite a bit, so I was wondering if
curl E = -dB/dt would get you some resistive heating in the atmosphere.
I wouldnt think it is a major contributor tho.
We'll see

I haven't come across any reference to the equation (term from Maxwell's Equations?) you reference in regard to climate studies.
This link gives a good description of the study and simulation of Joule heating of the atmosphere.
