Our star is now at "solar maximum," the peak phase of its 11-year activity cycle.

The solar cycle is not "fixed" in duration. There are disputes about the period of the cycle. 11-17 years in some sources. Yes, we just began to come out of the longest and quietest sunspot minimum of my lifetime. Yes, the weather is more variable during sunspot minimums and maximums. No, the sky is not falling and No this is not a consequence of anything man has done.

The solar cycle is not "fixed" in duration.

Solar scientists determine the progress of a cycle by observing magnetic activity on the Sun. They create an image known as a magnetogram, where N/S polarity is depicted as black/white regions.

First the low information “scientists” came up with the speculation of “Global Warming.”

When that speculation went bust they speculated that it was really “Climate Change.”

Myself, I’m ALMOST ready to speculate that what is really, REALLY is: “Weather Change.”

___________

Now where was I? I have so many data points! Why, I haven’t slept in a week!

No kidding, EVERY hour the weather changes! Oops! There is another change!

Just a few more data points and - - - !

Oh NOES! I skipped right over speculating on “Season Change!”

Merry Christmas one and all!

Nah. The sun goddess needs a sacrifice. He'll do for starters.
