Officials of both the Canadian and Russian governments in the past six weeks have warned of a coming ice age, where the number of solar flares diminishes to zero and the sun lays quiet. Clearly the sun is the source of all energy on Earth. And so, how brightly the sun shines is the key element. It burns irregularly, throwing off huge amounts of radioactive materials at times, and other times it lays quiet. And which side of the sun that is facing Earth at the time of these events has a lot to do with the energy received on Earth. All of these factors control the climate on Earth. Mar 23, 2008
It may get really cold soon... "Maunder Minimum".....
