I've heard/read anywhere from a year late to a month late. I think it was one of the past predictions on the NASA page that they said Cycle 24 would start in March 2008. However, that may have been their prediction when it didn't start in the spring of 2007 like they originally predicted!? And then they were overjoyed at the sunspot in January(?) - but that turned out to be a remnant of Cycle 23.

So, if it already is 1 year late when do we get concerned? Just like most cycles there is variability in their timing. On an 11 year cycle a delay of 1 year is less than 10% which seems in the realm of “average”. I'm not sure we need to be worried if we don't see the new cycle in another month or so. But when DO we??

And that is a question from someone that believes that the sun is the main driving force of our climate change, with periodic volcanic events, ocean turn-overs, and heavy space-dust periods to effect things as well. (The extra .25% of CO2 that we add to the other 99.75% of natural CO2 given off each year? Hardly.)

-Is it that small of an amount? (.25%) I knew it wasn't very much.
I was looking for that info, on the amount of CO2 produced by anthropogenic. Do you have a source for that?

Thanks.
