The Astronomical Society of Australia warns....

Based on our claim that changes in the Sun’s equatorial rotation rate are synchronized with changes in the Sun’s orbital motion about the barycentre, we propose that the mean period for the Sun’s meridional flow is set by a Synodic resonance between the flow period (~22.3 yr), the overall 178.7-yr repetition period for the solar orbital motion, and the 19.86-yr synodic period of Jupiter and Saturn. ...

It supports the contention that the level of activity on the Sun will significantly diminish sometime in the next decade and remain low for about 20 - 30 years. On each occasion that the Sun has done this in the past the World’s mean temperature has dropped by ~ 1 - 2 C. 

Hey Al you better get those folks to buy into your snake oil or it’ll be too late.

I remember back in the late 60’s that the earth was cooling and the reason cited was that the sun was slowly going out (in terms of it’s lifespan )

I don’t know which one I want. global cooling or warming.

Global warming will do wonders for my crops and Cooling will have me on the beach sippin’ on a beer.
