For students of the Sun, the length of the solar cycle, which lasts an average of 11 years but may go longer or shorter, has proven the best historical indicator of short-term climate. At the ends of these solar cycles, sunspot activity first declines, and then picks up markedly, indicating the beginning of a new cycle.
The precise relationship between the sunspots, which are thought to be determined by magnetic activity within the Sun, and the energy output of the Sun, is not known. However, long-term studies of the historical record have shown that when the minima in sunspot activity extend beyond the average 11years, significant declines in temperatures on Earth are experienced. Regular records of sunspot activity go back to the 17th Century.
The current solar cycle, numbered 23, began in 1996, and was expected to reach minimum and transition to solar cycle 24 in January 2007.
It did not. Instead, a prolonged period of excessively low solar activity has continued to this moment. In 2008, there were no sunspots observed on 266 of the year's 366 days (73%). "To find a year with more blank suns, you have to go all the way back to 1913," NASA reported in a press release. Since the beginning of the current year, sunspot counts have dropped even lower: As of April 9, there were no sunspots on 89 of the year's 99 days (90%).

Maunder Minimum A new, Little Ice Age? Diamond Ring? Bailey’s Beads?
Global Cooling? When will the environmental nuts change horses?

What if indeed, all the dire warnings about Global Warming are just so much computer modelling based on false input and a new little ice age is approaching?
The Easter Island event was almost a real time event and no doubt, the results of the observation will be sometime in coming forth...unless....unless...they are whitewashed and covered up by the 'believers' of GW who will brook no opposition?
The Solar minimum, expected in 2007, is now perhaps three years into an anomaly?
C'mon, Braniacs, let's hear your rebuttal!
