I fully expect Al Gore to come out and blame humans for this.

I was on that teleconference and recorded an audio file of the whole discussion.

If someone gives me a link to upload the file and the accompanying slides, I will oblige.
Or...
Would it all fit in my userspace?

I don't know about userspace, but maybe the podcasts section has room? If not you could put on any of the file hosting sites, search google for "free file hosting", and a bunch will come up. The first result for me is www.(nolink) which I've seen a lot of people using, so it should be reliable.

So we have to be a bit careful here, there seems to be some scaremongering going on. Let's remember that we have only had good data for this for a couple of decades at most. We know that the sun is a slightly variable star, by that I mean that it does vary a little in output and magnetic field (i.e. sunspot activity) ; this forms a sort of 11 year solar cycle.

Since the heliosphere is due largely magnetic fields, it seems likely that since solar magnetic fields vary, so then will the heliosphere and it probably has a minimum and maximum which it oscillates between, probably over an 11 year cycle.

Let's keep this interesting find independent of the beloved 2012 for now!
