I said this before - it was in K-PAX, Kevin Spacey said it would happen. Also the tides would stop with all the wave things. And don't give me that 'it was only a movie crap' cos it was a book too.

More like "The telegraph is running out of news"
Honestly 'running out of wind' - cannot believe I spent time reading that story."Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience". Mark TwainComment

Fascinating
Not particularly interested in the article, which is the usual Telegraph lazy ring-round-for-quotes-we-can-misrepresent stuff, however the last line, from respected solar physicist Mike Lockwood is interesting ...
Prof Lockwood said solar activity was especially low during this period, adding that current levels of sun-spot activity were continuing to decline. “We reached a high point of solar activity in 1985,” he said.
“Since then, it has been declining. We are now halfway back to the levels seen during the Maunder Minimum. The probability is that that decline will continue for the next 40 years.
