In this area, we have a conservative talk show program. The Warroom, with Quinn and Rose. The host has been trying to alert the public for the past year or so of the effects caused by the lack of sunspots.

While all of those "In the know" have been chicken littleing about global warming, the lack of solar flares has gone basically un-reported.

Global cooling is a much more impending threat than global warming.

If you look at the chart depicting the Maunder Minimum, and cross reference its effects on the planet, it shows quite a difference between what the global warming alarmists are spouting and what science has PROVEN can happen.

As long as I've been associated with the SF, the 18E's have always had their eye on sun spots in regard to RF transmissions. Particularly when I was in 7th during that time in their area at the time. The lack of spots could mean better comms instead of the end of the earth.

If you want to look at some more info concerning Solar Weather, this is the link to the NOAA site:

Most of the conversations I have heard that speak of warnings have been from a DOE representative who warns of the potential for a CME. (ala' March 13, 1989 Quebec blackout... but worse)

Exactly: The information regarding the Maunder Minimum was passed on to me by an N.G. Echo who is also a ham radio operator.

Well, anybody who makes their living on HF radio (an 05B4S qualified back when I wuz one) always pays attention to sunspot numbers - but low numbers are NOT a good thing. VHF/UHF and sat-comm think its great , of course, but us ol' HF rats wanted more solar flux, not less..

Oh . . . . yeah. And don't forget: "Face that direction, now turn around three times clockwise . . . uh-huh, yeah. Now, Team Leader, Hold this . . .higher, more to the left -- no my left. . . Okay, spin yourself twice counter-clockwise Team Leader. Higher, more to the right, your right . . . lower. . . like that Team Leader. Now close your eyes . . . yeah, yeah, that's doin' it. . . ." Sunspot Truth? Excuses and payback
