OK Stan, I see you are correct. I had been browsing the
accuweather.com website and came across this article:
http://global-warming.accuweather.com/2007/12/could_solar_inactivity_counter.html
I assumed the article was credible because it was authored
by Brett Anderson, Senior meteorologist with 18 years of
experience at AccuWeather.com. Moreover the article quoted
a Nasa scientist, David Hathaway. See below:
"But recently the Sun's internal circulation has been failing.
In May 2006 this conveyor belt had slowed to a crawl - a
record low. Nasa scientist David Hathaway said: "It's off
the bottom of the charts... this has im****tant repercussions
for future solar activity." What's more, it's not the only
indicator that the Sun is up to something."
