the Washington Post is reporting today about the prolonged reduction in the number of sunspots and the resulting effect on the climate of the Earth. (the article can be reached by clicking on the title to this post.)
According to the article, we may be entering a period of low sunspot activity of the sort which last time caused marked global cooling of between 1 and 2 degrees celsius. Such a mini-ice age would seem to put to bed the worries of global warming.
Personally, I am waiting for the speech by Al gore about how the dearth of sunspots is caused by human activity.
