The Sun is "Dead"

The web site “www.dailygalaxy.com” has an article, on June 11th 2008, about the sun not having any sunspots and why this could lead to a new little ice age. It says,

Dark spots, some as large as 50,000 miles in diameter, typically move across the surface of the sun, contracting and expanding as they go. These strange and powerful phenomena are known as sunspots, but now they are all gone. Not even solar physicists know why it’s happening and what this odd solar silence might be indicating for our future.

Although periods of inactivity are normal for the sun, this current period has gone on much longer than usual and scientists are starting to worry—at least a little bit. Today's sun is as inactive as it was two years ago, and solar physicists don’t have a clue as to why.

Tsuneta said solar physicists aren't weather forecasters and they can't predict the future. They do have the ability to observe, however, and they have observed a longer-than-normal period of solar inactivity. In the past, they observed that the sun once went 50 years without producing sunspots. That period coincided with a little ice age on Earth that lasted from 1650 to 1700. Coincidence? Some scientists say it was, but many worry that it wasn’t.

If the world does face another mini Ice Age, it could come without warning.

Sorokhtin believes that a lack of sunspots does indicate a coming cooling period based on certain past trends and early records. In fact, he calls manmade climate change "a drop in the bucket" compared to the fierce and abrupt cold that can potentially be brought on by inactive solar phases.

Maybe this is man made just like global warming? We are pumping out millions of mega watts of radio waves and they are interfering with the natural processes going on within the sun. To stop this we need a global campaign to reduce radio wave outputs by taxing the rich and starving the poor. I am sure we can find the some evidence that this is happening from somewhere. Come, let us worship the sun as a god and force people to save the sun from radio waves. All we need now is Al Gore to make a film.
