Here's a pretty interesting article that covers an area of climate change that I don't think has been given enough prominence {yeah, solar activity pun attack :D!}:

http://www.dailytech.com/Sun+Makes+History+First+Spotless+Month+in+a+Century/article12823.htm

How the changing composition of solar radiation will interact with the high greenhouse gas levels is a fascinating area of speculation ... or is that just me :lol:?

I should take umbrage over your punny disposition, but I'm busy constructing a theory on how Dick Cheney and Halliburton stole the spots.

NAH!! It's just you :D

Thanks that is an interesting article and what is also interesting is that NOAA and other observation centers like the Mount Wilson Observatory do not agree it has been a month without a sun spot.

As to the mention of the Little Ice age, there where contributing factors, one of those being a rather large volcanic eruption
