Too many words and graphs for me to wade through on a Saturday afternoon.

All you need to know is here:

(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.

The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.

Good luck surviving with less electricity and GE modified seeds.

Thanks! Not for the lack of sunspot activity, but thanks for the distillation.

The plot shows a steady decline in the Sun's magnetic field strength since 2000. Do they have data prior to 2000, or was that the beginning of these measurements?
