Thank you Lord!
I pray it continues. I would like a summer in 2010.

Update - C-Class flare activity continues as a C3.7 flare took place at 13:00 UTC Wednesday. The largest Solar Flare of Cycle 24 thus far took place early Wednesday morning. It registered C5.3 on the flare scale. It is small in comparison to flares at solar max, however it is a good sign nonetheless. Click HERE for a movie of the flare. A CME was associated with the C5.3 flare and an image is below. This may possibly produce Aurora by Friday when the CME arrives. Sunspot 1035 is an impressive sunspot cluster consisting of around 20 spots. There will remain a chance for B-Class and perhaps more C-Class flares. The solar flux reached 82 on Tuesday. The sunspot number of 38 is a new Cycle 24 record.

This sunspot was obviously caused by CO2.

I'm praying my children and grandchildren don't have to live through an ice age.

I can hear the celebration in Copenhagen all the way in Indiana. But one spot and one flare don’t make for much of a cycle. Even at a “minimum” there are some sunspots.

Could this be a bad thing? It's been cooling since 2002 as I understand it. If we see more solar activity then it will warm again and the AGW believers will blame it on CO2 and they will have solid warming evidence. I don't think I like this.

Am I wrong to be worried?

>>ALGORE must have contacted the SUN.<<

The Sun must have just heard that reading of his lovely Global Warming poem.

It was just the Sun laughing it’s a$$ off.

Agreed. I'd like to see the sun spotless until the global warming scam is nailed for the fraud it is. The current cooler weather overcame summer temperature increases due to improper temperature data manipulation by NASA, CRU, Penn State and/or others. If temperatures rise again due to return of the sunspot cycle, it will be harder to overcome the perception of increasing warming due to man's activities as the general population is not going to understand the deliberate manipulation of the temperature data. It would be much better if temperatures were cold as that is much more easily understood by the public.
