"A new analysis shows that the Sun is more active now than it has been at
anytime in the previous 1,000 years.

Scientists based at the Institute for Astronomy in Zurich used ice cores
from Greenland to construct a picture of our stars activity in the past.

Over the past few hundred years, there has been a steady increase in the
numbers of sunspots, a trend that has accelerated in the past century, just
at the time when the Earth has been getting warmer.

The data suggests that changing solar activity is influencing in some way
the global climate causing the world to get warmer."

I thought that TangoMan would appreciate this the most.

Greetings Valens,

Do you know the method that they used to translate the ice core record
into solar activity? I'm trying to get a grasp of how they relate.

Thanks, Thor

Thanks.

You know, this list is kind of dormant, we should be posting so that
it'll get hopping again like in its heyday.

Greetings to you as well, Thor,

Unfortunately I do not. In fact, I am curious myself, so if you should find
out, please post.

Val

I agree wholeheartedly... I've been very busy the last few months, so I've
only been skimming the posts and not writing. I'm kind of itching for a good
discussion with Paul :-)
