See the last few paragraphs.

Experts aren't certain about anything at all other than the fact that these conditions lead to colder weather but they are absolutely sure that Global warming will still prevail!

DOOOOMMMMMMMEEEEEEEDDDDDDD !

Bush’s fault.

“Predicting the next maximum now is rather like forecasting next summer’s weather in the middle of winter,” says Jim Wild, a space scientist at Lancaster University.

But Algore can tell you the weather for the next 100 years.

If the Sun stays quiet for the next few years, it may temper the effects of man-made global warming for a while but most experts believe that rising levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere will eventually push temperatures higher again.

This incorrect assertion destroys any credibility this article may have had. Increased levels of carbon dioxide come after, not before global warming! Everybody knows that except Al Gore and his paid minions!

I have fond memories of working a station in California from North Texas on 52.525 FM. On a 5 watt handi-talky connected to a cubical quad.

And 2-meter repeater interference from over 400 miles away.

I would like to see (at least) one more maximum before I shuffle off this mortal coil.

I can handle the cold or the heat, just give me propagation, and a higher MUF.

Obama will fix it in the first 100 days of his administration.

Prof Mayewski says: “The fact that we are not in conditions like the little ice age today shows that the atmosphere is being perturbed by human activities.”

Jim Wild, a space scientist at Lancaster University, says:“Predicting the next maximum now is rather like forecasting next summer’s weather in the middle of winter.”

Can you spot the leftist who wants to tax us trillions of dollars for no good reason other than wealth redistribution?

The solar wind – SNIP - is weaker than at any time since scientists began accurate observations in the 1950s,

Bernard's Law of Inverse Relationships - The strength of the solar wind is inversely proportional to the amount of hot air coming out of Washington, DC. This is especially true for science substitutes for scientific fact regarding climate change. Expect the solar wind to remain very weak for the next 35 days or so. Maybe longer.

[Old Professer]

Time to put shades on all those solar power collectors before we suck all the power out of Old Sol.

Where there are no problems, there are no grants.

Notice that the only “problems” recieving grants are those that can be leveraged into more socialist controls.

To add to the uncertainty, no one knows how long the Sun is likely to stay quiet.

For all we know Sunspots may have ceased permanently. In a couple of years we could be burning all the fossil fuels we can just to stop Global Icing.

[Mad Dawg]

The silent Sun's uncertain course disturbs
 The fearful cries and threats of global fire,
Of parched rivers, dead cities and suburbs,
 Of dessicated doom in stifled quire.

Almost immaculate the Sun now glows,
 And safe are radio and power grid.
The solar wind now only weakly blows;
 From Northern Lights the night sky now is rid.

They say new doom now stalks, and voices rise
 Proclaiming now the threat of death by ice.
Now free from heat our fearful eyes
 Find killing cold the way to Paradise.

Ye know, daft men, we'll die one way or other.
Meantime, be men; love God; love one another.

Sorry, gang. The title "The silent Sun's uncertain course" just sounded like 4/5 of the first line of a sonnet. I couldn't help myself.

Beam me to Planet Gore !

[JustDoItAlways]

The Sun is a variable star with several different cycles and other variation.

But it is a remarkably stable star. We are only talking about variation that can affect Earth’s climate by 1.5C or so.

The Milakovitch cycles of Earth’s orbit by comparison can affect the climate by +1.5C to -6.0C.

When the Sun is very quiet, the amount of energy that reaches Earth is only 0.1 per cent less than when it is very active – a change too small to produce significant global cooling on its own. “I would say that solar variability does feed into the climate system but we really do not know what the mechanism is,” Dr Casford says.

But algore says a change of 0.01 percent in CO2 levels is an enormous change that dooms the planet.
