Forget "Climate Change", let's talk about Solar Cycle 25.

Excuse my thickness, but I'm struggling to connect the dots. The old article says solar activity will be down for cycles 24 and 25. The Newsweek article suggests that's what happened, but now we have this huge flare.

I missed the original location of the quote FF placed up there about the Thames freezing. I'm also not clear on what effects sunspot activity has on global temperatures. Less activity means lower temps?

More solar activity (sun spots), warmer the climate.

Zero visible sun spots today and have been very infrequent as of late.

Here's a pretty good rundown:

Thanks, John! So which one of the original links said warming had stopped in 1997?
