...When the sun is active, it's not uncommon to see sunspot numbers of 100 or more in a single month. Every 11 years, activity slows, and numbers briefly drop near zero. Normally sunspots return very quickly, as a new cycle begins. But this year, the start of a new cycle, the sun has been eerily quiet.
The first seven months averaged a sunspot count of only three and in August there were no sunspots at all — zero — something that has not occurred since 1913.
According to the publication Daily Tech, in the past 1,000 years, three previous such events — what are called the Dalton, Maunder and Sporer Minimums — have all led to rapid cooling. One was large enough to be called the Little Ice Age (1500-1750).

Read much more above. Fascinating!! SO if the SUN is inactive.. it gets COLDER!? and if the SUN is ACTIVE.. we get WARMER!? What an amazing concept. Ground breaking thinking.
You mean my SUV, A/C, Fossil Fuels, Cow Farts, .. basically breathing... isn't to blame? I am confused.. please have someone explain this simple concept to me.
Now go buy those expensive toxic & green light bulbs!!! Let's also sign all the international warming treaties so American produces less and third world produce more.
Beam me up Scotty!!!
