It's Quiet...Too Quiet

The Sun's inactivity due to the long delayed start of solar Cycle 24 has got some scientists concerned, wondering if we might be entering another long solar minimum phase.

The last two times we suffered such long solar minimums we experienced Little Ice Ages, with much cooler global temperatures and major disruptions in agriculture leading to famine.

If the Sun is entering a prolonged minimum phase, global warming will be the least of our problems.
