"The Sun That Did Not Roar"

Current image of the sun. There is one normal size spot in the southern hemisphere.
There are a few very small spots elsewhere.
Even The New York Times is publishing stories about the sun's highly unusual behavior. Because the Maunder Minimum in sunspot activity (mentioned in the article) is believed to have caused or influenced the Little Ice Age, it leads to concerns that the earth may cool going forward. 

I don't have an opinion as to whether the earth will cool other than the sun's behavior and effects on earth's climate is just as valid a field of research as global warming. Why? Cooling would be far worse for humanity than warming.

  1. Thats what I've been saying for decades. The earth is always warming or cooling; it's never been static. and warming is always better than cooling. At least there's always been more biomass and greater bio diversity during warm periods.
