What's wrong with the sun? - space - 14 June 2010 - New Scientist
What the sun will do next is beyond our ability to predict. Most astronomers think that the solar cycle will proceed, but at significantly depressed levels of activity similar to those last seen in the 19th century. However, there is also evidence that the sun is inexorably losing its ability to produce sunspots (see "The sunspot forecast"). By 2015, they could be gone altogether, plunging us into a new Maunder minimum - and perhaps a new Little Ice Age.
Enjoy!Comment

Perhaps this is the suns response to global warming ... would that mean that the Earth IS an intrinsic part of a life supporting solar system, that provides interractive feedback to maintain the conditions necessary for life?
I'm sure the Gaia theorists would take this on board...Coffee's for closersComment

Not bad for mid-summer, seeing as it would usually be snow free now and the record high temperatue for December is +32 Deg C on top of that mountain. I guess that record is safe.Originally posted by BlasterBates View PostFrom the live Cam in Australia:
