That’s right from what I see on the news, thanks for the info!
It’s probably just a coincidence but I read that reduced (or no) sunspot activity promotes more cloud cover, like we have had for most of this spring/summer in Atlanta. Some scientists are predicting no sunspots for decades and another Little Ice Age.
Question: How would they know it will only be for a few decades and not a big ice age?
It's not coincidence.
Lower sunspot activity is an indication of a lower intensity of the sun's magnetic field.
That magnetic field, when strong, shields the earth from cosmic rays.
When weak, more cosmic rays strike the earth's atmosphere, causing water molecules to condense, forming clouds.
This phenomenon can be replicated at will in a laboratory, and does not rely on unvalidated computer simulations.
The historical record shows that low sunspot activity correlates with cold/rainy weather, starvation, pestilence and death.
Sun spots and cloud cover are inversely proportional. Definitely related.
