US scientists say the familiar sunspot cycle seems to be entering a hibernation period unseen since the 17th century......lately a curious calm has suggested quite the opposite.The signs include a missing jet stream, fading spots and slower activity near the poles, said a trio of studies
I had not expected this for another twenty years. People may make light off it, but in my opinion it could be quite serious.
