No sunspots in 2015 is quite a bold prediction, and completely counter to the mainstream among solar scientists. Most are predicting an end to the current minimum by late this year or early next year. Regardless, we’re already in a cooling trend I think.

There’s plenty more material on icecap.us or around the web.

I agree with you and please excuse my ignorance on this issue but predicting that there will be no sunspots in 7 years (earth time) is pretty ballsy. 7 earth years is a nano second (or some extremely small increment of time) when compared to the age of the sun. To be so precise on something so volatile, call me a skeptic but this sounds like a search for grant money.

My guess is the sunspots will stop...wait for it...now, er I mean...now.

"Firstly, I’d like to thank Dr. Bruce Cordell over at 21st Century Waves for telling me about an unpublished paper entitled “Sunspots may vanish by 2015,” by William Livingston and Matthew Penn, National Solar Observatory at Kitt Peak. According to Bruce, the paper was submitted to Nature, but promptly turned down after a review."

More Globull Warming censorship.
