Sunspot cycles and supercycles and their tentative causes. http://personal.inet.fi/tiede/tilmari/sunspots.html#twotypes "These pages have their origin in calculations made in 1988-1991, The calculations and hypotheses have been redone beginning from June 1998 to December 1998 and have been put to Internet that same period. These pages are due to be renewed in 2009-2010, when the solar cycle 23 has ended." timo has bloged on solarcycle24 but i have not seen hin lately hey steamer

It is incredible the manner in which they manipulated these brutal surroundings to survive. They hunted the diminising mamoth, great bison, and NA camels but I wonder if they had competition from other sentient hominids like they did in Europe. That would be fun information. Of course they became experts at using every last part of the plains bison. Homo sapiens did well with their inherent social structure in the harsh environment. Maybe we can move to the Sahara when the ice comes back in 3000 years ;)

And the SH has been cooler than the NH the last 30 years.... 'global' warming is apparently spotty at best. I'd say it was more like Massive, continent-wide cycles that take thousands of years to run, and the PDO, AMO and other cycles which we have only begun figuring out in the last 30 years, are just smaller cycles within. In other words: situation Natural. Not man-made. Interesting to note: The Sahara forest went desert about 7000 years ago.

Then for up to 5 solar cycles after ... which pretty well means until the 22nd century. Predictions range from a Dalton Type Minimum to a Maunder Minimum starting with Solar Cycle 24.

And also, as an avid animator, what kind of plotting and date entry is involved in the Java engine linked to in order to create that heliocentric animation that Ulrich would find a good graphic representation? Of course I found this site by seeing what Western Science had to say about 2012 and sun spots, etc. Just how much of a, “chill” or ‘little ice age’ is being referred to here?

Thanks for finding that one. I found another one: the AMO: http://www.worldclimatereport.com/index.php/2006/09/12/more-support-for-an-amoatlantic-hurricanes-link/ AMO may well be another name for the same system, or is part of it. The more we know, the harder it gets for John Q. Hystericist to make his point- which he never should have been able to in the first place. Morning Len!

This cold front coming across Lake Superior should give us a hint as to whether WHWP (post after this) or the 'cold storage' of Hudson's Bay will be more of an influence. Regardless, it looks like better 'ice wine'. Thanks for coming back and seeing my recovery.
