I can't resist this; 

A Solar physicist named professor Valentina Zharkova and colleagues
have been studying the Sun for some time now. And the Northumbrian
University professor and colleagues have found various inner workings
of the Sun that shed light on the Sun's solar cycles and variations that  can
can be a lot more predictable in the future.

Their research suggests that the next three Solar cycles will see reduced 
Solar activity similar to that which occurred during the so-called `Maunder Min
Minimum' in the 1600's. Which will have implications for temperatures
here on Earth.

And although future Solar cycles will serve as tests for these 
astrophysicist's work...most `climate' scientists have not welcomed the 
work, have, in fact, attempted to SUPPRESS these new findings (gosh! I wo
wonder why?)!

To most people (in their life spans) the Sun seems to never change. But in 
fact, it undergoes changes on a constant basis. There is, of course, the 
well-known 11 year cycle of Sun spots which are observed to come and go w
with regularity. But `computer models' (much like the ones `created' for
so-called "climate research") are only partially successful in predicting the 
Sun's cycle. And that might be because there is an important component mi
missing.

Zharkova and colleagues have discovered that the Sun has two separate 
`dynamos' coming from different depths of the Sun's interior. And the interac
interaction between these two magnetic waves either enhance the Sun's activit
activity, or damp it down. Which suggests we are in for a period of low Solar a
Solar activity.

Professor Zharkova says we will see this between 2020 and 2053 when the n
the next three cycles will see a very reduced magnetic field of the Sun.

Which, she says, may very well be another Maunder Minimum period of sim
similar cold as in the 17th century. That `minimum' lasted around 65
years. This one she thinks will last around 30 to 35 years.

This information, by the way, came out early this month. So we (that is, 
*I*) aren't bringing up anything that is `out of the range' of Roger's 
intent to bring the echo's postings into modern-day scientific research.

Something interesting (and telling):

Many `climatologists' resented her discovery...even attempted to su
suppress it's publication, even contacted The Royal Astrophysical Society an
and demanded (behind their backs, of course) that the press release be wi
withdrawn!

You have to wonder at the close-mindedness of `scientists' who refuse to
consider...nay attempt to suppress...a scientists' research! Amazing!

BUT! Back to the land of the `silent majority of one'!
