They were.

Lack of them was supposed to be throwing us into the next ice age, IIRC.

They’re right about one thing: we’re all gonna die.

[wafflehouse]

that big orange ball in the sky has nothing to do with our climate!

science is dead

[dfwgator]

It’s $CIENCE, now.

[Sirius Lee]

Correct. The sunspots are particularly active because of systemic racism.

Climate change
If it rains it’s climate change
If it doesn’t it’s climate change
If it snows it’s climate change
If it doesn’t snow it’s climate change
If it’s hot it’s climate change
If it’s cold it’s climate change
If there are lots of hurricanes…. It’s climate change
If there are fewer hurricanes…..it’s climate change
And apparently
If there are more sunspots it’s climate change
If there are fewer sunspots its climate change

All can effectively be solved by throwing money at them

First question for globull warming types
What is normal climate for the earth?
Second
What caused ice ages to come and go

Many more but this is what I start with

maybe people should worry about the black spots on earth and the dangers they cause on civilization...

[dayglored]

> It’s an eleven year cycle, a natural cycle that the Sun exhibits... Certainly nothing for anyone to worry about…

Oh I know :-) I've been an amateur astronomy bug since I was a little kid in the 50's. I just love getting other people all fired up. And that quote from Ghostbusters is legendary.
