That explains why some people act like old gasbags.. high magnetism. Hmmmm... I never heard a convincing explanation of why earth has a magnetic field in the first place. Some think it might be a dynamo effect caused by circulation of high iron molten materials in rotation. Or it may be a giant permanent magnet. I thought that materials past their curie point lost their magnetism, so how the molten centre is magnetic I can't imagine. Perhaps its the earth's lower crust that is high in magnetite and it has been magnetized by rotating in a electrical solar wind over the centuries.

I would have thought that gravity played a stronger role than electrical charge attraction. Magnetism is a very weak force and I cannot see it affecting charged molecules much.

Perhaps civilizations past on these planets had too much freon refrigeration and they lost their ozone layer and after that the atmosphere just burned off.
