| Global warming? Where's the evidence. Average temperatures in some areas in the late 1800's were higher than now. It's a load of stuff and nonsense. | |

I've talked about the CO2 = Global warming nonsense elsewhere, but the climate IS changing.
This is a short page about solar storms:

| The worst solar-storm season in half a century starts this year. These fiery explosions—which unleash as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs—could, under the right conditions, black out cities and fry satellites.
The frequency and intensity of storms varies depending on the solar season, which waxes and wanes in 11-year cycles. We will soon be entering into a new season of high solar activity, and experts predict—by crunching data on the long-term behavior of the sun's convection currents—that it will be the stormiest in half a century. | |
