Sunspots returning?

Well, as I start getting back to blogging about my life in Saigon again, I decided to give an update on the sunspot situation with our Sun.  It seems that some activity are finally returning but not really much.  The below image was taken on Dec. 17, 2009:

December 17th, 2009, Sunspot

The most recent image shows very few sunspots as well taken from the NASA website:

I am not putting two and two together but the US and Europe got nailed by unusual snowstorms last week didn’t they?

Sunspot Alert –> They’re Back :-)

Sunspots have returned :-)   Maybe it will not snow in Saigon now?

Fewer Sunspots, will it snow in Saigon this year?

Before I decided to combine ExpatPramatist.com with SaigonNezumi.com, I was keeping an eye on the lack of sunspots during the 24th sunspot cycle.  The photo below was taken about 6 days ago.  You can see the lack of sunspots in the picture which has baffled scientists and many others.   Some scientists are beginning to argue that the lack of sunspots may actually have an impact on the Earth’s climate.  This happened in the past especially during the periods of 1645-1715 known as the Little Ice Age where canals in the Netherlands froze in the winter.  We may possibly be entering another mini Ice Age according to some…

Hmm, should I bring my Russian fur hat and Kazakh leather jacket to Saigon before Winter approaches?

This is one of the better climate change movies online now. The 11th Hour gives an independent perspective on global warming and the causes.
