One of the few people who sets the record straight

we are entering a sunspot minimum.

I thought the low point had been reached.

There is a solar physicist in London named Zharkova who says the minimum has started this year.

I assume she knows what she's talking about.  But I think the sun is now sunspot-free if I understand correctly.  The minimum is supposed to last 25 to 30 years or so.

Personally I have no idea.   But I guess we'll find out.

i was surfing the idiot box last night and came across the history channel's Apocalypse Earth. it was the one Hurricanes: Storms of Destruction, i think it was a rerun.
anyway they were saying that the storms tend to intensity every 25 to 30 years due to the earth warming up and the went back to the as far as 1600 to late 1800 up showing how some of the ones that hit new york and the north east happened during that time frame.

but of course they had to also put in global warming is making it worse now.
i tried to link it but it shows to be locked even after i logged into their site using two different methods. seems like all thos A&E sites do that. it's S1 E4 if your interested.
