I think it is very possible the present dearth of solar activity may be consequential. As a ham radio operator I have followed solar activity for decades as it has a great effect on radio propagation, but also I have observed recent weather changes which are cause for some concern. In the past seven years here in the Chihuahua Desert we have had record single day snowfall broken twice, record yearlong snowfall total broken twice, and the first blizzard ever in recorded history. During the same time our annual rainfall and average temperatures have trended below average. On the plus side I thing there have been fewer tornadoes in the area immediately east of the Rockies, the storms tend to move farther east before they gain sufficient strength. But ask them at my other home on on the west coast what they think about having tornadoes where they never had them before, or back to back hundred year floods and things of that nature.
What is wrong with positing a theory that Sunspots cause Earthquakes? Someone should do a study to disprove or prove it, that is how Science is advanced.
I would put a hell of a lot more in his predictions than yours, or Al Gores.
OH BALLS!
WTF?
All that Dr Casey has said that history has shown that during Minimums, some of the largest earthquakes in history have happened.
Of course a lot have happened in mean times also.
MAN O MAN!
I predict that very large numbers of Arizonans will substantially reduce the amount of fossil fuel that they consume in the coming years
Not just a solar minimum, but likely a ‘grand minimum’ this time. A low low. Possibly 50 years of cooler weather.

A Maunder Minimum could occur, too...

Al Gore’s a fool... but thank God - he’s THEIR fool - not ours.
Naw, we will just fire up the good ol coal plants.
Time..will tell.
Tell you what, dont want to go up north in Wis and the UP of michigan and spout off about gorebull warming these days.
Dunno what the total is yet, but they were headed towards 30 inches in spots.
Prograt Minneapolis and Duluth are having a not-so-warm spring, too. Ha!
During solar minimums, the sun's magnetic field is reduced, allowing the solar wind greater access to our planet. This affects earth's magma and thus increases volcanic activity and perhaps also seepage through cracks in the tectonic plates, their movements, etc.
That's my interpretation of what I've read about this aspect of the effects of the solar wind.
You need some new material!! :)
