2013's solar maximum could be weakest since the dawn of the space age

Astronomers have been counting sunspots for centuries, and they have seen that the solar cycle is not perfectly regular. For one thing, the back-and-forth swing in sunspot counts can take anywhere from 10 to 13 years to complete; also, the amplitude of the cycle varies. Some solar maxima are very weak, others very strong.

It was hotter and dryer here 30-50 years ago than it has been in the past 20 years. It is the local phenomenon and it will cycle some more over the next few decades.

If you are interested read Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear”. A novel, but all the statistics all throughout the piece are real. He does an excellent job of explaining how 99% of anthropomorphic global warming is bogus.

Not good news for ham radio operators.

I do not fully understand what this guy is explaining, but it is incredibly interesting:

I find his 3 and 4 minute news segments very informative, and his knowledge of meteorology and space weather are very impressive.

I think he is on to something with the interaction of space weather, solar phenomena, and Earth weather. I always suspected that the climate was an incredibly complex system with a lot of variables and drivers.

I do not think that the climate is a simple matter of total solar output, although that is clearly important.

Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....

...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...

....to increase it's magnetic field....

and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....

(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 no electricity and GE modified seeds.

Wow! cycle 24 is extremely small! This means that in a few years the Earth will get much colder! Already this has been the coldest winter,spring and summer I remember. No wonder the evil government and evil media changed the name of “global warming” to climate change. We could use this to show gov and media have been lying and can't be trusted:

for 30 years the government and the media have been crying “global warming” . now it hasn't gotten colder at all. so they change the name to “climate change” .so they are admitting they were lying for 30 years.

30 years of fake government funded research
30 years of fake media reports “global warming”
30 years of a hoax called global warming.

all this proves government/socialism can never work. for a government to devote this much time and funds to fund fake research to terrorize the public into accepting more government power and control over their lives proves government is pure evil and can never work. this is supposed to be government by the people? if government were accountable to the people you think that people want to fund Billions$ to fund fake research that is meant to enslave us ? hell no. government must be kept limited , no grants, no government at all. well federal government must be kept limited to only dealing with international issues like keeping foreign things out like foreign armies , foreign migrations etc. and that's it not controlling individuals here in the USA and funding thousands of stupid fake projects and hoaxes , no gov schools, no EPA , no IRS. etc. so this is why the IRS takes 40% of our income to fund hoaxes like this global warming hoax.
