I can dig it.


You should always stay away from old flames, they are nothing but trouble. They might find you magnetic but in the end they leave you burned.

That certainly is a good site. And yes, the current minimum is part of a cycle the sun goes through. Mankind could benefit immensely by understanding cycles a bit more. For instance, the concept of harmonics in cycles emerging in supercycles and so on. Anyway, the point is that the minimum right now is rather pronounced and many believe that the active period we are on the verge of entering into will be more active than 'normal'. Of course, there is one anomaly to the cycle, and we were able to witness it occur in the period from ca 1640 - 1710 where the sun was basically silent. We do not understand why, and I doubt we will understand the entire scope of the solar mechanism for quite some time.

There may be some correlation between aggregate solar activity and Earth's temperature however I do not think there is enough definitive data right now. At this point it seems to be more of a circumstantial correlation rather than anything direct or indicating any real causation.

Overall, it is likely that we are entering into an active solar cycle which will be quite strong and will likely peak around - that number - 2012. Does that mean we need to start digging tunnels? Heck no. The only thing that I would worry about is a flare similar to the one that happened in 1859. That could cause fires since the world is now electrically wired almost throughout, and it could also result in an increase of skin cancer due to the ozone layer being temporarily torn apart.

The odds of this? Low, in my opinion.
Is it possible? Yes.

To be honest, I am much more concerned about the effects of man-made technologies than byproducts of the cosmos.

it would seem to me that this could be haarp related, from what i recall they were directing a concentrated beam on the ionisphere the outer layer in an attempt to perhaps alter or lower the truman resonance, the possobility always existed that they could burst the bubble, perhaps they have, again the ongoing aerosol program that could destroy the ozone layer is still going on 24/7, when we humans mess with the planet in this way there will always be unknown consequences, the arrogance of those that play this very dangerous game boggles the mind and the consequences for mankind unknown, this planet is sentient, if they/we mess with it too much, it will rid itself of us and start anew, i believe the us military is at the heart of this, no wonder the us is broke, could any of you envision world peace? no war, living in harmony with our home and one another? it is possible you know, take away greed and the hunger for power and you have it.
