The Sun could be heading into period of extended calm - physicsworld.com

Researchers in the US may have discovered further evidence that the Sun is heading towards an extended period of quiet activity, the like of which has not been seen since the 17th century. The impact this may have on climate is poorly understood but it would be good news for satellite communications, which would continue to avoid the harsher impacts of space weather.

It also helps to have friends in high places, and California’s Sen. Diane Feinstein and House Speaker Pelosi see Fisker and Tesla as bridges to a new automotive future made in California, not Detroit. Oh, yes, and one of Fisker’s original backers is Al Gore’s venture-capital firm, Kleiner Perkins.

Remember Fisker the next time Washington pols complain of taxpayers bailing out jet-setting Wall Street corporate fat cats.

We are a couple of sheep and beef farmers farming off the East Coast of the North Island of NZ. We believe in the neccessity of farming sustainably and making wise use of finite resources. We believe in protecting the environment. But we believe all decisions should be based on scientific fact, not mere conjecture. When the Kyoto agreement was signed we believed what we heard, and were global warming believers. But with the announcement of the ‘fart tax’ our suspicions were roused. Since then we have done extensive reading of both sides of the argument. We have to conclude that if global warming is being caused by man, the net effect is very small, and will not have any harmful effect on the planet.
