How strange that the short, choppy “coulda, woulda, shoulda’ article gives no evidence that even vaguely supports the headline.
Meanwhile...
Spotless Days
Current Stretch: 7 days
2009 total: 109 days (86%)
Since 2004: 620 days
Typical Solar Min: 485 days

Yes. You'd think they'd at least wait till the current minimum is actually and obviously over.

Ham operators the world over are rejoicing. No sun spots means very poor skip conditions. I think we are going to be in a minimum for quite some time. The leftards are pinning their hopes on this, so they can once again tout global warming, and scream “See, the sun spots are back, we are all going to die!”.

It's best for us as a whole..

>> What I’m reading from this newsblurb is the AP’s fervent hope that sunspots reappear so that “global warming” will pick up. Because if the sunspots don’t reappear, then we may have a repeat of the Maunder Minimum and another “Little Ice Age” will be on the horizon. <<
Bingo! That’s the very first thought that came to me upon reading the excerpt of this article.

Obama is going to send a scientific team to the sun to investigate these sunspots. The plan is to go at night when it is cooler.

The only problem with that, is that they’ll have to keep it hush hush amongst themselves. Can’t go letting the natives know that CO2 has nothing to do with global warming.

The sun is moving into a busier period for sunspots. Are we lacking that much?
Can't we just nuke it or something and stop this inhuman event from happening?
I know that if we had thought of it earlier with prudence, solar panels would be prominent to defend ourselves from this and our issues would all be taken care of.
Alas, we are evil humans, are nuclear promoting, and Utopia can not be achieved via solar panels because of our evil ways.
Now we must die because of our indiscretion's.....
