Big question mark, 
we are heading to another sunspot minimum or quite possibly another 
Maunder - deeep cycles minimum, possibly lasting few cycles. Happened 
once in 1650 -1750. 
Maybe God answer to all those alarmist, tax raising Global Warming: 
"Complained about Global warming? Here you get dose of Global and Space 
cooling." 


I tried to bring this up in my article at 


http://americanskynews.com/articles-a.htm 
Global Scam, aka "Global Warming" - "Climate Change." 


Only to be outshouted by the "95% of scientists" and politicians craving 
our $$. 


Besides weird propagation modes, we are already witnessing extreme 
changes in weather patterns and swings in temperatures. Future could be 
gloomier than NOA predictions. We haven't been there before, not in our 
life time. Some real scientists are already speculating about Maunder 
minimum. 


73 and stay warm!
