Sunspots and a possible new ice age (updated)
"There is some serious evidence accumulating that we may be on the brink of not just global cooling, but an ice age.
Sunspots are historically correlated with temperature on earth. During the Dalton Minimum, beginning in 1790, the number of sunspots was low, as the earth's climate turned cold for a few decades. At http://www.spaceweather.com/ you can see live images of the sun taken from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory in space. Right now there is but one tiny sunspot."
