Dr. Kenneth Tapping is worried about the sun. Solar activity comes in regular cycles, but the latest one is refusing to start. Sunspots have all but vanished, and activity is suspiciously quiet. The last time this happened was 400 years ago -- and it signaled a solar event known as a "Maunder Minimum," along with the start of what we now call the "Little Ice Age."

Those of us into amateur radio know this as the "skip cycle", which occurrs every 11 years. It's already late in starting, and what few bursts of skip there have been haven't lasted very long. Skip is directly related to the solar cycle, ironically just like so-called "global warming" is .. LOL.

This could be series. But, you know, it is best to worry about things you can actually do something about if you have to worry about something.
