Sun may soon have four poles, say researchers

April 20, 2012
By SEIJI TANAKA/ Staff Writer

The sun may be entering a period of reduced activity that could result in lower temperatures on Earth, according to Japanese researchers.

Officials of the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan and the Riken research foundation said on April 19 that the activity of sunspots appeared to resemble a 70-year period in the 17th century in which London’s Thames froze over and cherry blossoms bloomed later than usual in Kyoto.

In that era, known as the Maunder Minimum, temperatures are estimated to have been about 2.5 degrees lower than in the second half of the 20th century.

ManBearPig AlGore needs to fly right over to the sun, and fix those sunspots, and get this global warming bandwagon's wheels back on.

Yeah, he lives there until he's evicted by those burro farts. They're really nasty at this time of year.

There was a cart accident in NYC. At first they said it was the driver's fault, but then they found out that it was the asphalt.

Next thing I know, you'll be telling me there's an earthquake on Manhattan and it's the fault's fault.

Yeah, but you're keeping your crusty commentary coming along nicely. So much so that the tremors in the ground are detectable - prolly around a 1.6 on the Richter Scale.

After that aural rape, I ain't sure of anything except that my anti-rap device is busted.

Congratulations. I'm naked to the world. Utterly defenseless. Woe is me.
