NEW: Spotless Days
Current Stretch: 3 days
2009 total: 105 days (85%)
Since 2004: 616 days
Typical Solar Min: 485 days...
It seems to me the lack of sunspots in 1918 might have something to do with the Flu Outbreak...
Maybe that is what we are experiencing?

Al Gore had a 50% chance of picking the right ‘type’ of global ecological disaster.
And he picked global warming.

Early records of sunspots indicate that the Sun went through a period of inactivity in the late 17th century. Very few sunspots were seen on the Sun from about 1645 to 1715. Although the observations were not as extensive as in later years, the Sun was in fact well observed during this time and this lack of sunspots is well documented. This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the “Little Ice Age” when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes. There is evidence that the Sun has had similar periods of inactivity in the more distant past. The connection between solar activity and terrestrial climate is an area of on-going research.

This is easy to fix. Implement a sun tax, based on the amount of sunlight required to grow food. Oranges would be taxed highly, while beets would have a lower tax. The money raised would be an investment towards fixing the sun spot problem. The White House vegetable garden would of course be exempt. Problem solved!

Everyone knows the lack of sunspots and solar flares will bring tornados in Kansas and snow in Colorado, floods along the Red river and earth quakes in Calif.

Congress needs to pass legislation to prevent solar cooling.

This gives me chills.It sure was chilly this morning when I went for a walk. My better half and I walked around the Cowboys training facility to get a better look at the aftermath of yesterday's storm.
I can't recall it ever being this cool on May 3rd in the Metroplex.

It is down right chilly today, but it got very warm and humid just before the storm yesterday.
