Weather
The lack of sunspots this year has some scientists wondering if this could be an indicator that much colder weather is on the way. They argue it could be the start of an extended period of solar indolence that would more than counter the effect of human-produced carbon dioxide emissions. From the middle of the 17th century to the early 18th century, which is known as the Little Ice Age, sunspots were very rare and this reduced activity is believed by some to be related to the lower temperatures which occurred then.
On more than 200 days so far this year, no sunspots have been spotted. This makes the sun more unblemished than it has been in any year since 1954 when it was spotless for 241 days.

Oh, no! How is Algore going to explain this to his faithful? Maybe he can say that the things that caused global warming also caused the decrease in sunspots.

I actually read that in the Farmer's Almanac! Although they were using a couple of different indices for solar activity. They were saying it might get cooler for the next 50 years.

Does this mean we can stop all the "global warming" nonsense?

No, not until someone finds a way to make money on sunspot activity.

Michael Moore will claim its special effects. Maybe we can convince him to go to the sun to interview a sunspot? 
Al Gore will claim a new chemical is shown to produce those "holes" in the sun and hw will have to regulate it through the same company set up to process carbon credits.

The lack of sunspots this year has some scientists wondering if this could be an indicator that much colder weather is on the way. They argue it could be the start of an extended period of solar indolence that would more than counter the effect of human-produced carbon dioxide emissions. From the middle of the 17th century to the early 18th century, which is known as the Little Ice Age, sunspots were very rare and this reduced activity is believed by some to be related to the lower temperatures which occurred then.
On more than 200 days so far this year, no sunspots have been spotted. This makes the sun more unblemished than it has been in any year since 1954 when it was spotless for 241 days.

Actually, I think this is due to The One...
On June 3, 2008 the Anoited One, Barack Obama said, "This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal."
America, he did it!
Nancy Pelosi was right, he is a gift from God!
Oprah was right, he is The One.
Farrakhan was right, he is The Messiah!

No sun sposts? Maybe the sun is discovered a box of oxy cleanse?

I wonder how much trade-in value those carbon credits will have.

Haven't you noticed the subtle change in terminology from "global warming" to "climate change"? I'm starting to hear that term more and more now and quite honestly, I wish they'd shut up already.
