eHam.net News – No question: The Sun has been behaving very oddly. First we had a drawn-out cycle, number 23, whose sunspot “minimum” was deeper and more free of spots than any that we’ve observed this past century. When the new cycle number 24 finally began in 2008, nearly two years behind schedule, solar experts wondered if the odd behavior would continue. “If the upcoming solar max of cycle 24 is normal or robust, and especially if an El Niño follows it two years later (as often happens), then the middle of this decade will be the hottest period since humans arrived on Earth. However, if the upcoming maximum is wimpy, as most solar researchers expect, or if the Sun is now entering an extended period of low activity with another deep minimum to follow, that is the best thing it could possibly do for us. Such a scenario would mitigate climate change. Essentially, the Sun has been buying us time.”
