1911-1914 is a close match, but looking at these charts I would have to guess that the solar cycle in 1790 is similar to cycle 23 followed by the cycle in 1805 (solar cycle 5) that may be similar to cycle 24. A fairly strong cycle followed by an extended minimum and a peak that is around 50. So our current winter should be similar to 1802-1803 winters. That would be similar to the start of Dalton Minimum territory.
From his web page Laymen's Sunspot Count.
My predictions show that SC24 will be similar to SC5. The same Solar system forces are in play at similar timings and strength (SC24 perhaps showing a stronger disruption strength, which indicates that SC24 should be a smaller cycle than SC5). This graph using the SIDC monthly count from Jan 1798 will compare the Layman's Count from Jan 2008. The Layman's Count is the only count that can properly compare with the old SIDC (Wolf) measures. SC14 has been added for interest (starts Jan 1901) all 3 records beginning at the end of their previous cycle (where the downramp meets the bottom). The unsmoothed numbers showing the big swings in SC14.
You are probably referring to Solar Cycle 14 from the early 1900's. So 24 could be similar to either 5 or 14. Interesting. See the approximate 10 cycle intervals. Cycle 5 or Cycle 14 compared to Cycle 24.
Seems like defunding the UN, or at least paring it down to a couple million bucks a year maximum is another no brainer way to save money. Between the ‘human rights’ nonsense and the Gorebal Warmers we are funding people who are doing far more harm than good. Why continue?
My pleasure :-) They give pygmies everywhere a bad name.
When I was in New Mexico back in April, the mountains were obviously melting.
You shouldn't have eaten that cactus.
a group of researchers led by John Abraham of St. Thomas University in Minnesota said it was mobilizing a "climate rapid-response team" that would also mount a media campaign to defend its position... According to Scott Mandia, a professor of physical sciences at Suffolk County Community College in New York, this team will "not only communicate science," but also "aggressively engage the denialists and politicians who attack climate science and its scientists."Those who deny that the climate is 100 percent natural 100 percent of the time *are* the denialists, and their view are 100 percent political in origin, with no scientific basis whatsoever. The attacks, so to speak, against their positions are self-defense, and should involve keeping them under constant litigation over their fraud, breaking their tenure, and getting them blackballed, and their phony research banned. Thanks Kaslin for the topic and neverdem for the link.
That caused a Hellova’ case of indigestion, too.
