There's a spate of articles today about a warning from NASA that the dearth of sunspots during the current solar minimum could lead to unprecedented cold for the modern age. To be clear, it is not another Ice Age. It's just that the normal cycle of the sun has reached a lower low than any of the last century. These minimums correspond to colder temperatures on the Earth. Put that together and we may be facing a colder winter than usual, indeed a colder period for the next few years.
I realize that to the global warming crowd, this news is akin to blasphemy. Still, for the group that constantly tells us how they want to follow "science", it will be interesting to see why they are sure the earth will still warm even as it cools. Maybe a better way to put this is: when the two forces involved are the sun on the one side and excess carbon dioxide from human activity on the other side, the truly puny nature of humanity's effect on the Earth is clearly evident.
