Sun Spots

The sun is off. Well it's still there but it is less active. For the first time in a century, there have been no sunspots in a month. I found this quote to be telling about scientists and their dogmatics:

In 2005, a pair of astronomers from the National Solar Observatory (NSO) in Tucson attempted to publish a paper in the journal Science. The pair looked at minute spectroscopic and magnetic changes in the sun. By extrapolating forward, they reached the startling result that, within 10 years, sunspots would vanish entirely. At the time, the sun was very active. Most of their peers laughed at what they considered an unsubstantiated conclusion.
(emphasis mine)

I think we are going to be in for a cold winter after a cold summer. This will make 8 years of declining temperatures.
