NASA says observers are seeing the birth of a true sunspot on the sun’s face, the first of its kind since the solar minimum began in January. That should alleviate any concerns about a new Ice Age coming in the years ahead. But some worriers say it’s really too soon to tell if this spot will grow and last or merely fade like others of its class have done.
UPDATE: The Seablogger prefers to call it a "sun-sputter," and, indeed, the day after the announcement, it’s almost gone. Meanwhile, NASA held a presser to announce the sun’s output of solar wind is at a fifty-year low. What that means for us, they didn’t say, except that more cosmic rays will get into the inner solar system. There is a theory about the rays, however, which calls global warming into question.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
Don’t be a fool. Climatology is now down to fact vs fiction. Variances are fallacy. Everyone knows the trend, prophesy tells us so…
Ah, you are a follower of the Gorebot, I see.
Subadei is wrong. Climatology is now a fight between two equally ignorant faiths. Both don’t have a pot to piss in, scientifically speaking, but argue like they do.
I’ll just wait 100-200 years before coming out with a conclusion.
Heh. I’m throwing my lot in with the coming Ice Age. Be sure to look into some good insulation for your house, if you haven’t already. Some extra blankets wouldn’t hurt.
