The Sun is Fading

Did you know that the Sun has reached its lowest level of activity for at least 100 years? Apparently the Sun goes through phases like this, but we are still not sure why and how long this is likely to last for. So far there doesn't seem to have been any slow down in global warming, but who knows? We are about due for another Ice Age, maybe this is the start...see this link for more information. I, for one believe that the current 'panic' over global warming is just so much hot air!
