I’m not worried. Obama’s windmills and electric cars will fix all of this, but first he needs more tax money.
Stock up on firewood.

It’s at the link. Solar cycle 25 will be much reduced, possibly a new maunder minimum.

"If we are right, this could be the last solar maximum we'll see for a few decades," Hill said. "That would affect everything from space exploration to Earth's climate." The article is not at all clear what the implications are. Not exactly stellar reporting, it's really missing important information.

Reduced solar magnetic activity. Not clear if it means less solar energy output, at least I’m not clear.

Implications are dire for the Global Warming crowd, but stellar for heating fuel salesman.......

One implication is the complete demise of any scientific standing, if any still existed, for the warmists.

I had already read about that. I was hoping for something “major”.
Heck, we wer in a cycle of no sunspots just a few years ago and everyone was beginning to get concerned. Isn’t this a bit like reporting the first late winter snowfall?

The sun went nova eight minutes ago Isn't eight minutes the time for light to travel from the un to the earth?

And thats the end of the world news, up next sports. In sports, the Miami Heat coach asked Lebron James if he had change for a dollar and all Lebron gave him was three quarters.

We never entered a period like that experienced in the Maunder Minimum also known as the little ice age. Pretty important if they are right.
