Looming Weak Solar Activity May Herald Frosty Times: ‘Current solar cycle, possibly the weakest in 100 years, is approaching its maximum. This may signal a future low period for the sun, probably not unlike the one that caused the Little Ice Age from mid-16th to mid-19th centuries’
Looming Weak Solar Activity May Herald Frosty Times http://www.thegwpf.org/looming-weak-solar-activity-herald-frosty-times/ The current solar activity cycle, possibly the weakest in 100 years, is approaching its maximum. This may signal a future low period for the sun, probably not unlike the one that caused the so-called Little Ice Age from the mid-16th to mid-19th centuries. The sun is […]

New paper predicts solar activity will decline over 21st century to average Holocene levels – Published in Climate of the Past
New paper predicts solar activity will decline over 21st century to average Holocene levels http://hockeyschtick.blogspot.com/2013/08/new-paper-predicts-solar-activity-will.html A paper published today in Climate of the Past reconstructs solar activity over the Holocene [past 10,000 years] and finds solar activity during the 20th century was at relatively high levels in comparison to the rest of the Holocene, but […]
