Oh Great… Now Al Gore and the other global warming climate change people will come back out of the wood work again. The sun had been quite for a year and we’ve had record cold temporatures and record snows in some places. Now its going to get warmer again, which I prefer, but now the Carbon tax fraud pushers are going to be out in mass this year because the spots are back in the sun. This carbon tax stuff is nothing but a fraud by the globalist and technocrats to further defraud the people and deindustrialize the U.S. Carbon dioxide is not a poisonous gas. Plants need it to breathe and I exhale it. I bet you that they are planning to tax us for exhaling CO2.

10xcsn has been mentioned as a cause of the sunspot lull . I wish the ice age vs global warming crowd would settle this question.
It scares the sniffers outa me and my wife . We are over eighty and cannot bear the news of a ice age or green house rage in 10 or 20 years.
It might kill us.

September 12, 2008.

Just to point out that there are still no sunspots – it has been 6 weeks now since August started, and no solar cycle 23 sunspots have appeared in August and September – which is good, in a certain way. At least cycle 23 is (possibly) over, so solar cycle 24 can begin thinking about beginning to start beginning.

Then again, solar cyle 24 hasn’t begu eitehr ……

[...] The announcement came on the IPS web page, today, on the day that two small cycle 23 sunspots has started to appear near the solar equator. Many had expected more cycle 24 spots to be visible by now, but the sun remains quiet, and has been producing more cyccle 23 spots than 24 spots so far since the first cycle 24 spot was seen on January 4th, 2008 [...]

I am very intrigued by Ghociumn’s comment of 4/21/8, regarding the 22 yr. cycle. Has anyone ever charted this? If so, I would very much like to see this. In my imagination a chart like this would have a midline of zero sunspots. The upper portion of the graph would contain the data: # of sunspots with N/S polarity. And below the midline-lower portion of the chart-would contain the data: # of sunspots with S/N polarity orientation. What do you think, Anthony? Is this form of data even captured? For how many years? Hmmm…

Solar cycles have a mind of their own. They begin and end when they do and if they over lap that’s ok. What I am interested in is the cycle itself. Most think it is an 11 year cycle but I feel it may actually be 22(+-) years. This is evident due to each 11 year cycle being of the opposite magnetic orientation to the preceeding cycle. 22 years cycles seem a better explanation to account for a full cycle to occur and for the sun to return to its initial magnetic orientation at the beginning of the cycle. What we maybe/should be talking about cycle 24a?? (which if you work the numbers back will actually be Cycle 12.

Look again at the heliosphere dent and watch for more reverse field solar activity. When the Sun passed this way in the Galaxy the last time there was an extended ICE AGE. Check you data for around 700,000 years ago.

FYI:

HURRICANE NOGURI – 1805 Z, 11-JAN-08

EARLIER TODAY, TYPHOON NOGURI CROSSED 180, AFTER A SIGNIFICANT LEFTWARD / NORTHWARD WOBBLE. THIS STORM IS NOW DESIGNATED AS HURRICANE NOGURI, A CATEGORY ONE HURRICANE. LOCATION IS 179W, 40N, TRACK HAS RESUMED ESE. AT THIS TIME, THIS FEATURE IS OF NOTE SOLELY TO MARINE TRAFFIC (ESPECIALLY DUMB SHIPS) AS IT IS EXPECTED TO PULL UP STATIONARY AGAINST A PROGRESSIVE RIDGE PROG’ED TO BE ALONG 14OW AT THE TIME. STORM IS PROG’ED TO THEN LOSE STRENGTH, AND, IF IT EVER REACHES LAND, SHOULD BE A TD, AT MOST. NONETHELESS … THIS IS THE 4TH NAMED STORM (AND 4TH HURRICANE!) IN THIS HIGHLY UNPRECEDENTED 2008 SEASON. RETROSPECTIVELY, CHANGING SEASON TO YEAR ROUND (JAN 01 THROUGH DEC 31) WAS A *WISE* CHOICE. EOT. FORECASTER – HAY-MAN.

Vigorous entertainment produces pleasant participation. A 10th grade English teacher did to me this wonder of mentorship. And at the time I was sustaining a marginal “D”. He did this with Shakespeare no less.

Several movies (Star Wars-1977 and later ET-1982) have allowed a similar participation with my children.

Such provocative talk of Solar Cycle 24 here today has reopened this pleasant participation in learning. And I understand “it is the Sun, dummy” that needs focus in academia.

“More input”.
