Just in time for 2012.

Next Solar Max == 2012 (Doomed!)

[Just mythoughts]

For more than a year, the sun has been experiencing a lull in activity, marking the end of Solar Cycle 23, which peaked with many furious storms in 2000--2003. "Solar minimum is upon us," he says.

Could someone explain this count? What year did Solar Cycle 1 take place?

Meteor, comet or 12th Imam?............

[Just another Joe]

Just in time for global warming/cooling/climate change.

What year did Solar Cycle 1 take place?

Ask Helen Thomas......

What’s 2012?

From: http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/10may_longrange.htm ...A word about solar cycles: Astronomers number each 11-year solar cycle, 1, 2, 3 and so on. For obscure historical reasons, Solar Cycle 1 is a nondescript cycle which peaked in 1760. The most recent cycle, Cycle 23, peaked in 2001 and is coming to an end now....

What’s 2012?

A pretty good album by Rush.......

I’m sure Albore and the UN “climate experts” will be able to fix this with a few trillion dollars from us tax turnips in the US of A.

The real question is how can George W. Bush and Big Oil and SUV drivers be blamed for this?

[Perdogg]

It depends who answers.

I am not sure when they date the model. But considering the average length of a cycle is 11 years, one can guess the beginning observations go back 250 years or more.

But, in 1957-60 the sunspot numbers were the highest ever recorded. As a result, radio communications were very good at higher frequencies (14-70 MHz).

In addition, the midwest was experiencing extreme winter snows/cold weather. The winters of 70-72 were also extremely bitter. Could it be that by 20012 we will be in the middle of a perceived Global Freezing scare?

Wouldn’t surprise me at all.

Good. I haven’t seen a good aurora for a long time.

[Red Badger]

Oops, off a century.....but so am I......

[Just mythoughts]

Thanks. So if the Solar Cycle peaked in 2001 and is ending doesn’t that mean global warming is also ending?

I was reading their shopping list at

And it looks just like the shopping lists for Y2K
