Climate Change: NASA predicts the lowest sunspot activity since 1928. Is a major solar storm in the offing? While we worry about man-made warming, the sun may soon show us who's boss... But this dry statistic has more significance for the earth and its climate than all of Al Gore's gloom and doom about tailpipe emissions and rising sea levels. Whether the warm-mongers like it or not, the sun rules earth's climate always has and always will.

Anyone remember the “red lunar eclipse” of the ‘80’s?

a quick look at google and I see it apparently happens all the time.
Seems like they hyped it like it was the Big Bang back when I was in college.

Ah, I must have missed it. I was probably too busy chasing small children in the 80s!

There is a certain irony that Obama’s efforts forestall global warming may make things more miserable if we actually experiencing another mini-ice age. Imagine having your electric and heating bills rapidly increasing to fend off carbon emissions and global warming while average global temperatures are plunging.

Global warming, you may have noticed, seemingly stopped dead in its tracks in 1998. It's God giving the finger to Al Gore.

When these folks can get the weekend weather forecast right, then maybe I’ll listen to what they say.

Clearly, this lack of sun spot activity is caused by human activity on earth.

This is today's most recent SOHO image.
The sun is rotating from your left to right.
Two "disturbed" areas rotated into view about 5 days ago, and sunspots developed in one area about 3 days ago.
The tiny black dot "southwest" of the sunspots is a defective pixel in the telescope.
The other "disturbed" area broke up and disappeared from the "visible" light spectrum, but parts of it can still be seen in other spectrums.
Sunspots in the sun's "northern hemisphere," like these sunspots, are consistent with the evolution of new solar Cycle 24.
At this point in the transition, sunspots in the "southern hemisphere" are usually "leftover" spots from the previous cycle, Cycle 23, and become fewer and fewer as the new cycle increases in strength.
As Cycle 24 strengthens, almost the entire sun can become speckled with spots.
The number of "disturbed areas" in the northern hemisphere has been increasing for several weeks, but what that means for the long term forecast is still pretty much guesswork.

Bellflower,
Excellent link.
I know a good bit about cosmic ray cloud formation, and that's the best summary I've ever read.
