I am skeptical anyone can make a valid claim as to knowing what the Sun will be doing 15-20 years from now. Also, I am not clear on this part, but it seems to me they are saying there will be a 60% drop in magnetic field activity, but that doesn't necessarily translate into a drop in solar output. The solar output was determined over 100,000 years ago when the energy presently being radiated out was generated in the core and it takes that long for it to reach the surface. Consider a large pot of boiling water. If you turned off the heat, the pot will continue to radiate heat for a long time due to the stored energy. The same with the Sun. The large mass and volume of the Sun means the solar output has to be fairly steady, even if there is a change in the generation of energy. We can 'see' the core of the Sun using neutrinos (which pass right through the mass of the Sun unhindered) and we see no indication of a change in the core. So, I have to say, pending peer review and more data, I am very skeptical of their claim.Christopher Keatinghttp://dialoguesonglobalwarming.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2581891759488770965.post-90354835649357226882015-07-13T21:03:47.385-04:002015-07-13T21:03:47.385-04:00I know this doesn't exactly relate to this top...I know this doesn't exactly relate to this topic, but I came across an article about recent research involving models predicting reduced sunspot activity resulting in cooling temperatures by 2030. I haven't noticed this website to be denialistic before, and I would like to hear what you make of this article and the quoted research.
