Relations between the length of a sunspot cycle and the average temperature in the same and the next cycle are calculated for a number of meteorological stations in Norway and in the North Atlantic region. No significant trend is found between the length of a cycle and the average temperature in the same cycle, but a significant negative trend is found between the length of a cycle and the temperature in the next cycle. This provides a tool to predict anaverage temperature decrease of at least 1:0 1C from solar cycle 23 to solar cycle 24 forth stations and are as analyzed. We find forth Norwegian local stations investigated that 25–56% of the temperature increase the last 150 years may be attributed to the Sun. For 3 North Atlantic stations we get 63–72% solar contribution. This points to the Atlantic currents as reinforcing a solar signal. & 2012. Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

What are the odds, my birth date is 9-27-1954.
Yes we do - and it is thus Bush’s fault!
It spins.
Unless it oscillates too, on a 24 hour cycle. Although I think we would notice that kind of wobble.
:)
But how can we be sure our SUVs and Bar-B-Qs etc aren’t causing the solar spots to vary, dangerously effecting our fragile environment?
