I just realized I have a headache. :)

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

Wow. Both poles are south. Where did north go?

[bayliving]

It’s Bush’s fault!

Is this a precursor to another Maunder Minimum situation, where the sunspot activity drops to essentially zero for decades? That could be bad news for food production, since much of the world's climate at higher latitudes may make Canada, northern Europe and much of Russia unusable for agriculture.

Managed to get “global warming” in the article. I guess they have to do that if they want to get published or get hits on search engines.

The solar magnetic field is pretty complex with only a general north south orientation. Basically it has poles all over the place.

I saw a good show about the earth’s magnetic field on the Science channel the other day.

Our sun is now a magnetic monopole. Who would have thought it?

This paper predicts the end of sunspots by 2015.

But such a subtle change in the sun—lowering its luminosity by about 0.1%—wouldn't be enough to outweigh the build-up of greenhouse gases and soot that most researchers consider the main cause of rising world temperatures

Al Gore can breathe easy.

Can’t the government declare the sun a blight and use eminent domain to take it over?

[Steely Tom]

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.

“Cold Sun” by John Casey
“There is no one alive who has experienced the depths and extent of the cold that will soon descend upon us!”

One of my favorite songs ever!

Get ready to be very cold!

Cool post on solar activity. Thanks.

I have been saying with ISON coming closer we are going to see some trippy Sh—! And hopefully we are going to live through all of it. Be prepared for anything.
