God, I long for the good ol’ days. Take 1957, f’rinstance. Great year fer sunspots.....
This means??? colder winter this year??? more snow??? less snow???
Just include the phrase; "as it relates to Global Warming", in your grant request.
That should do it no matter who wins the election.
We are doomed (;>)
I think more of a normal winter would be the best way to say it. Should get some snow in the south this year. Have not have any for a while. (at least any that stayed more than a day or so).
I think we just had a small cluster of 8 which lasted about a day. They were labeled Cycle 24 spots, but I’m not so sure about that. In my very humble opinion, their latitude was a little low for 24. I don’t know about their polarity yet.

Just wait till 2012!

The theory and history goes as follows: (It isn’t proved, but damn well looks accurate when you look at history)
When there is a bigger magnetic shield around the earth. (sunspots and the solar wind cause this to be bigger when they are and smaller when they are.) When it is big less cosmic rays get here. Smaller means less magnetic field around the earth.
Cosmic rays cause ionic blips up high that cause nucleation sites and cause water moisture to coalesce into clouds.
This means: cloudier which means more solar reflection so colder. (reflect sunlight) Snowier since there are clouds and more snow crystal nucleation sites. (well you know this part)
;-) I cant help myself, so lets blizzard for Gore

Who’da thunk? The sun breaking wind. Send more beans.
