This is a hard scientific study out of the National Solar Observatory that seems to show that the current solar cycle is going to be longer and weaker than expected, and may portend something resembling the Maunder Minimum. The icecap.us article links two other articles, an analysis and the complete paper in PDF format. I'll provide those here as well:
paper:

analysis:

As the analysis points out, they don't yet have an extensive data set. Still, sure looks like the Farmer's Almanac has this winter pegged...

He'll blame the shortage of sunspots on global warming, claim that things are worse than even he thought, and demand even more government programs to prevent people from being flash frozen where they stand like in the movie he consulted on.

This article (like the Global Warming Alarmists) is like someone going up the hill on a rollercoaster and predicting it will be launched into outer space.
that happened a long, long time ago. You mean, in his latest self-incarnation as saviour of the globe.
My father has been saying this for sometime. We are going to have a “Little Ice Age”.
Which makes the US in an interesting spot. If we go back to normal, crop production in places like Russia will plummet.
And we will probably have much wetter areas to the south.

What a crock! Everyone knows that (according to the Mayan Calender), it's lights out for the Earth in 2012...so we'll be gone three-years before this Sun spot issue can be confirmed. /snort/
