In that case, liberals will need to start taxing companies for not producing enough CO2.

C’mon, the Sun has no impact on temperature... seriously... go ask a libtard.

..... I am getting soooooo confused ..... Should we all be stocking up on swim suits .... Or Parkas?

.... Please Al Gore .... Enlighten us ....

Here are a couple of solar tidbits:

What is the rate at which energy is generated in one cubic meter of the core of the Sun?

45 Watts.

How much time elapses from the generation of energy in the center of the Sun to the time it is radiated from the surface?

30,000 years.

[Organic Panic]

It is actually easier to predict solar cycles than the Earth’s climate. BUT, we are assured we are all going to die from global warming and the sun has nothing to do with climate.

[GMMC0987]

Well if it does, it’ll be because we didn’t pay enough taxes!

The Earth could be headed for a 'mini ice age' researchers have warned.

Weren't these dip wads saying this back in the 70s. When it didn't resonate, they changed to global warming. Now, we are back to global cooling again. I wish these A holes would make up their minds once and for all.

The Sun's magnetic field is in decline....so less Sunspots...

At least my energy stocks will come back then.....

Sun going to sleep?

“The Maunder Minimum (also known as the prolonged sunspot minimum) is the name used for the period starting in about 1645 and continuing to about 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time.

It caused London’s River Thames to freeze over, and ‘frost fairs’ became popular.”

Never happened...burn those books...

If mankind had any sense we’d go nuclear in a big way - just in case. Even if it’s actually warming we’ll have the power for the AC! ; -)

After reading the article, I read the responses. Number 2 and 3 - you cracked my up! :>)

One of my fav “Twilight Zone” Episodes is “The Midnight Sun”.

Are we freezing or burning up libs? Make up your minds!!

[AdmSmith]

Zharkova and her colleagues derived their model using a technique called ‘principal component analysis’ of the magnetic field observations from the Wilcox Solar Observatory in California. They examined three solar cycles-worth of magnetic field activity, covering the period from 1976-2008. In addition, they compared their predictions to average sunspot numbers, another strong marker of solar activity. All the predictions and observations were closely matched.
