The BLACK SUN SPOTS are what make it so damned hot here!

Good luck wid dat when all the solar cells are frozen over.
What makes you think man is not responsible for the lack of sun spots. It’s called “Solar Cooling”. It’s caused by cow farts!!!
yawn. it is death defyingly hot here!
I have pure white wooly bears in my garden now.
(In my best Tommy Chong voice) “It’s Gore-Hansen, Mann”. But I do think your idea of naming it that, a’la Maunder, is brilliant and will do my best to help make it go viral.
“It rained all night the day I left
The weather it was dry
The sun so hot, I froze to death
Susannah, don’t you cry.”
i didn’t read the article but are they saying they looked at all sides of the sun?
Sun spots are real, and do warm the earth. If we are void of them, it will be a colder winter, but we’re not going to all die.
The below article is a discussion topic I wrote for a leadership class back in 2013. This wasn’t unexpected or a surprise to anyone who actually looks a science from a scientific standpoint. As noted, the next SC is even more mundane than what we are seeing today. Think of about 22 years of solar minimums starting this year.
The embedded graphic did not paste so you will need to go to the links for them.
Enjoy:
NASA’s Long Range Solar Forecast from 2006 indicated that the upcoming solar cycle (cycle 24) will be at best, similar to the cycle in effect at press time (cycle 23). More importantly, cycle 25 which will cover the time period 2020-231, is projected to be well below the current cycles.
Solar cycles are approximately 11 years in duration, and are measured in terms of the amount and intensity of sun spot activity. Sun spots are eruptions of highly energetic magnetic fields that originate deep within the core of the sun. Scientists tract the sun spot over time and compute a rate of occurrence and that rate of occurrence is then measured by movement of the sun spots along the surface of the sun. The normal rate of movement has been observed since the late nineteenth century at about one meter per second,; however, according to this 2006 article, the “conveyor belt, the areas of the sun that show most sun spot activity, has slowed to .75 mps in the northern area, and .35 mps in the southern area, indicative of a significant decrease in sun spot activity over time.
The significance of this rather dated report is that the energy released by the sun, which directly affects the earth’s climate, is lessening and the result of that would logically be the cooling of the earth over time as heat is lost and not replaced by lower solar radiation concentrations reaching the earth. Conversely, during solar maximums, the earth is heated to a greater extent (laws of thermodynamics- conservation of energy).
My assessment of this report agrees with the plethora of other reports available through open-sources that are indicative of global cooling due to the decrease of solar activity, not due to some illicit result of man’s industriousness and activity.
I offer up the concept that man indeed has little to no intentional or planned control over the earth’s climate, except perhaps in the case of micro-climate phenomenon around large metropolitan areas, but then only to the extent that the atmospheric currents allow those conditions to exists.
I found several graphs which depict the solar cycles from antiqity through present and we can clearly see that the suns activity and consequently the earth’s exposure to solar energy varies quite a bit. Not coincidently, the weather patterns of the earth reflect those changes with some lag and the surges and ebbs of the solar activity directly affect our weather.

God has a sense of humor.
And the Global Warming nutjobs are his favorite straight men.
Algore is deeply saddened.
The Sun is a nuisance. Blow it up.
I was calling it that back when I ran my Daily Global Cooling Watch thread years ago.

There was lots of good discussion in that one.
"Honey, sun spots are back"
Quick, crank out an SUV for everyone in India!
Didn’t see the Joseph Goebbels photo, so I’m assuming this is true?
Yeah, yeah. We’ll be lucky if we can turn the AC off for Christmas! Besides, everyone knows our usage of electricity affects the planet more than the sun-right?
It’s not obscuring my view of Venus.
