Sun’s output diminishes: NASA NASA’s spacecraft Ulysses has a
polar orbit around the Sun, and is monitoring its output of
cosmic rays. The rays appear to have fallen off recently.
Combine that with the lack of sunspots this year (which is
pretty odd in itself) and you have to get a little worried. Why?
Because our climate is inextricably linked to the Sun. One has
to wonder: are we about to plunge into a period of substantial
global COOLING? If we are, then that is something to be feared
considerably more than the global warming we are all so familiar
with. Ice Ages are triggered quickly, and we are arguably in the
middle of an interglacial period at the moment. Not trying to
scare you, or anything, though. NASA Press Release: ” Data from
the Ulysses spacecraft, a joint NASA-European Space Agency
mission, show the sun has reduced its output of solar wind to
the lowest levels since accurate readings became available. The
sun’s current state could reduce the natural shielding that
envelops our solar system.“The
