Let me be the first here to predict a period of Global Cooling due to the lack of intensity of our nearest star.

Bush’s fault. And I blame global warming too. And maybe Palin.

Is this BEFORE we clean up China’s dirty coal power plants or after?

I always blame it on the dog. :-)

It’s not a lessening- the energy is being bottled up inside the sun in preparation for a nova or super flare.
Hmm, think I’ll go read “Inconstant Moon” again.

Too much Al Gore and democrat hot air being sent in the sun’s direction. If they shut up, problem solved.

SPACE WEATHER
Current conditions
Solar wind
speed: 358.6 km/sec
density: 9.4 protons/cm3
I still suggest you keep an atmosphere or two between you and those protons!

OK I'm certainly not an expert, but if we have only been measuring this for 50ish years, doesn't it seem silly for someone to say this?

Let me be the first here to predict a period of Global Cooling due to the lack of intensity of our nearest star. Please, anything but that! Then we would have to use more fossil fuels to keep warm! (Or we could burn a few democrats instead...)

We were gonna do some space travel this fall (you know, to check out the foliage). We may do some time travel instead.
