According to Yahoo News. The new sunspot cycle might be starting.
Seems like chitter chatter and talk about what used to happen during the 1800's

amazing how they hype literally nothing and warn us all of ~~ DANGER~~~~DANGER~~

there is no news anymore, it's just speculation. Insert "Swine Flu" in place of "sunspots" and you'll find the tone of the article to be nearly identical 'reporting' of stuff that HASNT HAPPENED YET.

STUPID USELESS MEDIA written by formula hack 'reporters' controlled by corporation ass kissing editors who very carefully do what they are told, lest they be replaced.

bah humbug. I cant stand it. 2 weeks ago, we were all gonna die of swine flu. Now the sunspots are gonna get us.

You're right, Derb.

When people worry about silly, low probability stuff like that, you KNOW life is good.  The big story being IF we have another solar storm like in 1859, it would do $1-2 trillion dollars in damage.  Gee, I'm so scared now I could puke.


One day the gossip columnists (reporters) will REALLY have some news to report and all these made-up doom and gloom stories will seem like happy memories in comparison... Wink
