READ the LAST two Paragraphs.....it says it won't affect global warming even if it lasts a century.....

UNEXPECTED...

[Drill Thrawl]

Not just UNEXPECTED it’s UNPOSSIBLE.

[vbmoneyspender]

I’ll bet its our fault. Probably AGW at work.

[Paladin2]

"This is highly unusual and unexpected"

Of course. Isn't everything that dumps on the lefty parade these days?

THE END IS NEAR/s

[Darteaus94025]

Bush’s fault.

[Interesting Times]

"A new Maunder-type solar activity minimum cannot offset the global warming caused by human greenhouse gas emissions..."

Then if it does get colder, we'll know for certain that AGW was a lie.

[anonsquared]

"Experts are now probing whether this period of inactivity could be a second Maunder Minimum, which was a 70-year period when hardly any sunspots were observed between 1645-1715, a period known as the "Little Ice Age."

QUICK, bring back 100W incandescent light bulbs so we can counteract this impending deadly environmental disaster!!!

Try to hide THIS decline, *ssholes.

Predicted hibernation of sunspots???

This is a “prediction” that will not live up to the hype.

[FormerACLUmember]

prolonged sunspot hibernation equals new ice age.

[Drill Thrawl]

Was Niven right?

Product Description:
Reeling under a new ice age, the lunatic fringe of the environmental movement controls the US government....

Like Atlas Shrugged, it's not fiction, it's the future.

[reformedliberal]

Let’s say, just for the sake of argument, that they are right and we have both global warming and AGW. If it is also true that the world is losing solar input, then global warming is good because it will mitigate the cooling. If global warming is good and it is caused by human activity, then that activity is also good because it is offsetting the next Little Ice Age.

Go, humans!

The temperature change associated with any reduction in sunspot activity would likely be minimal and may not be enough to offset the impact of greenhouse gases on global warming, according to scientists who have published recent papers on the topic.

Please forgive us if we confused a bit of dogma with real science.

[Windflier]

"This is highly unusual and unexpected," said Frank Hill, associate director of the NSO's Solar Synoptic Network..."

Bloody hell. Do they all have to talk this way? Do they even hear themselves?

[greatplains]

The next thing you know, they’re going to be telling us that the sun affects the earth’s climate or something silly like that.

"READ the LAST two Paragraphs.....it says it won't affect global warming even if it lasts a century..... "

Well, even they admitted that a minimum will make the weather colder.

"Moreover, any offset of global warming due to a grand minimum of solar activity would be merely a temporary effect, since the distinct solar minima during the last millennium typically lasted for only several decades or a century at most."

Feulner and Stefan Rahmstorf said that the effect would happen ("offset") but be temporary. So what? It'll get colder and warmer, in cycles. It's going to be fun, watching the hordes, unable to afford heat, begin to move southward within two or three years from now.
