We are currently more than six years into Solar Cycle 24 and today the sun is virtually spotless despite the fact that we are still in what is considered to be its solar maximum phase. Solar cycle 24 began after an unusually deep solar minimum that lasted from 2007 to 2009 which included more spotless days on the sun compared to any minimum in almost a century.

So, low solar output also causes Jihad?

'weakest solar cycle in a century'Tell me about it. Going to be 0 here, tomorrow night. Which, in the Southeast, is the next thing to an ice age.

The big fear now is we may be heading for another Maunder Minimum. And that could will seriously affect food production in the higher latitudes, which means much lower wheat production unless land now devoted to rice production is switched over to wheat production during this cold period. In short, Asians used to eating a lot of rice will have to make do with eating a lot more wheat-based products such as noodles or something like the Chinese mantou buns made from wheat.

I’ve never really understood the solar activity in relation to short wave broadcast, or for that matter any broadcast. Does activity affect the broadcast negatively?

Warmists tell us to ignore the giant ball of fire in the sky, that can't have a thing to do with the temperature on Earth. Focus on the invisible gas, that makes up a tiny fraction of the gases in the atmosphere.
This takes a Phd. to figure out.

Hey Dave:
I made up a joke yesterday, feel free to pass it along if you like:
They used a groundhog to predict spring ...
and a weasel to predict global warming!
