The Quiet Sun

The sun is spookily quiet, with solar winds at a 50 year low and an abnormally long period with no sunspots to speak of.  And maybe it’s nothing, just a below average minimum of solar activity.  The IPCC elitists say the sun has very little to do with the climate.  Maybe they are right.

But maybe not.  Maybe the sunspots are not coming back in the foreseeable future.  Maybe we’re in for global cooling like we have never seen before.  Maybe the Farmer’s Almanac is right, and we are in for a cold winter.  Maybe we are in for even more than that.  After all, the Maunder Minimum, an extended low in sunspot activity coincided with the so-called “little ice age” of the late 1600’s.  Of course, there is no reason to believe that we are in such a pattern…  or is there.
