For those that say we are getting cooler, they may be right. The very
latest solar data shows that the sun may be "slowing down" (for lack of
a better term) and that this will give us another cooling Maunder

Even though the sun is relatively quiet, 2010 is the hottest year on

What happens?

If we are lucky (?), a solar maxima like 1958-1959, where you could work
the world with 10 watts feeding a wet noodle.

Been there, done that...

The IGY solar max was a once in a lifetime event. Cycle 24 is going to
be below average.
