Still no current cycle sunspots True, but SC24 should be well under way by election day. If not, then that could be interesting. Lack of sunspots has nothing to do with climate as amply demonstrated every 11 years or so. But a stretched out cycle and a long term lack of sunspots could get interesting. However, there's not a lot of science yet to explain that cause and effect.

However, even if temperatures are plummeting around election time, Hansen and Gavin's data will somehow show 2008 to be one of the ten hottest on record.
