“What’s all that mean?”

Two months ago I had a long talk with a solar scientist. He said that with few sunspots, we may have a couple of years with slightly lower temperatures, then as the sunspots increase, the temperature will go back up.

As I understand it: more sunspots = less high level clouds = lower albedo for the Earth, and vice-versa.

Great. So, if we get more sunspots, the Envirowackos will have stop ignoring the facts and start ignoring the new facts?

A rocket must be filled with Accutane and fired directly into this solar lesion.

Today, Director of the SSRC, John Casey has reaffirmed earlier research he led that independently discovered the sun’s changes are the result of a family of cycles that bring about climate shifts from cold climate to warm and back again.

“We today confirm the recent announcement by NASA that there are historic and important changes taking place on the sun’s surface. This will have only one outcome - a new climate change is coming that will bring an extended period of deep cold to the planet. This is not however a unique event for the planet although it is critically important news to this and the next generations. It is but the normal sequence of alternating climate changes that has been going on for thousands of years. Further according to our research, this series of solar cycles are so predictable that they can be used to roughly forecast the next series of climate changes many decades in advance. I have verified the accuracy of these cycles’ behavior over the last 1,100 years relative to temperatures on Earth, to well over 90%.”

Changes in the Sun’s Surface to Bring Next Climate Change

...then as the sunspots increase, the temperature will go back up.

Temperature on Earth wont be significantly affected until around the time that the Sunspot number peaks. Then as it starts to fall, that is when the real warming affects occur. To understand how this is possible, look at what happens during our summer here within the US. The hottest times start when the suns photoperiod (length of time the sun is in the sky per day) has peaked and starts to decrease. So we are in for another cold winter 08/09 and a cooler summer 09 followed by another cold winter 09/10 followed by possibly a mild summer 10 and mild winter 10/11. Then what happens depends on the magnitude of the solar activity peak. What could change this is massive underwater volcanic eruptions that led to an El Nino. That is a crap shoot however.
