I noticed this group the other day. It was interesting because it looked pretty complicated...
And if you look at some of the images here they show more activity than meets the eye...

Can we physically do something to the sun? This will only give credence to global warming.

Where can I buy sunspot credits? How do we sequester sunspots? Can China and India pay their “fair share” to save the Sun? WWAD? What Would Algore Do? What does Lindsey Graham say to John F’n Kerry about this when they spoon at night? /rhetorical

We’ve got to do something about the sunspot crisis, which is all Bush’s fault of course. Convene a UN task force!

maybe someone should propose trading sunspot credits to tackle the issue.

That’s all too bad. Better if the Sun stays quiet long enough to squelch this Global Warming VS. It seems medieval to look to the sun to determine if or when western civilization will enter a political dark age of unified totalitarian socialism and ever declining prosperity.

So the Cycle 23/24 solar minimum seems headed towards the history books as of this writing. If solar minimums are related to global cooling, the end of a solar minimum is a cause for celebration!

I'll have to check back on this thread in a little while, I have some errands to run.
But yes, the past couple weeks there have been some honest to goodness F-layer 10M openings and they have been some fun.
Just in time, A few weeks ago I got my old HR2600 out of the storage room and all dusted off and spruced up. Working great - but I do need to get serious about building a good 10M antenna now. I have my portable setup but it is essentially a 3/4 wave vertical on 10, so I can do better.

...can’t even see ‘em at around 67. I want my X-class flares! I want to sunbathe on an Arctic beach! ;-)

Yes, the solar data would appear to indicate that solar activity, a more active solar minimum than usual, has more to do with climate variability than human influence.
This is not to say that urban heat island effects don't increase temperatures as urbanization increases.
We are just getting more solar data in as new remote sensing platforms return new data. In the coming years we will have a much greater picture as far as the sun earth system due to new imaging. We are really just begining to understand how much space weather actually influences earth weather and climate. Therefore, everyone needs to realize how fragile life is on this planet.
It is always possible that if the sun alters its activity, by stepping up intensity we will all be in for potentially life threating consequences. Desertification is already on the increase globally. Fresh water is tapped out and contamination issues are everywhere. Increased radiation reaching the surface can destroy crops globally. We have some big storms on the horizon...
The solar storms could shut down our power grid to knocking down our network of satellites.
Therefore the sun has more to do with climate variability, however human influence through habitat destruction and contamination are altering our atmospheric chemistry and rainfalls all around the world. Our global environmental crisis is only getting more complex by the day.
