NASA Releases New Solar Activity Prediction

Wondering why the Earth's temperature hasn't increased in the past decade?

It has something to do with that great glowing thing in our sky. The sun has periods of activity and inactivity in roughly 24 year cycles. According to this report, NASA is trying to figure out where in the cycle the sunspots are.

This is the sort of article environmentalists HATE because any idea of human-caused global warming is completely debunked by sunspots. Which is why this paragraph below was buried at the end of the NASA article.

According to the forecast, the sun should remain generally calm for at least another year. From a research point of view, that's good news because solar minimum has proven to be more interesting than anyone imagined. Low solar activity has a profound effect on Earth’s atmosphere, allowing it to cool and contract. Space junk accumulates in Earth orbit because there is less aerodynamic drag. The becalmed solar wind whips up fewer magnetic storms around Earth's poles. Cosmic rays that are normally pushed back by solar wind instead intrude on the near-Earth environment. There are other side-effects, too, that can be studied only so long as the sun remains quiet.

And check out the two graphs below. Every claim environmentalists make is wiped away simply by looking at the sun.



I'm not saying to your best to be a responsible steward of our shared environment, all I'm saying is when someone tells human activity is destroying the Earth, you can tell them to go stare at the sun.
