Sunspots low - get ready for cooling

LOL! Oh please let this happen. I mean, it probably has as much validity as the predictions of us all turning into Pop Tarts due to excessive human-caused global warmth, but I must admit that it would be satisfying to further expose the fear mongers like Al Gore for the frauds they are.

Of course, the results of such a cataclysm wouldn’t be desirable (just as the effects of global warming--if it were real--wouldn't be desirable).

This isn't the first we've heard of this either (and see here and here), and he contradicts another media-trumpeted NASA scientist.

Sunspot activity has not resumed up after hitting an 11-year low in March last year, raising fears that — far from warming — the globe is about to return to an Ice Age, says an Australian-American scientist.

Physicist Phil Chapman, the first native-born Australian to become an astronaut with NASA [he became an American citizen to join up, though he never went into space], said pictures from the U.S. Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) showed no spots on the sun.

He said the world cooled quickly between January last year and January this year, by about 0.7 degrees Centigrade.
