| #5 The Sun has no effect on the earth's climate, only evil SUV driving Republicans do. Remember, if it's too hot, too cold, or too just right, it's due to Global Climate Change. |

| #4 I'm not an expert, but I think that things like CME's (coronal mass ejections) give clues to the cycle. They are a good indicator of the condition of the sun's magnetic field, which also affects sunspots. The exact physics are still uncertain, they are bit of a mystery. |

| #3 2012, ya say, eh? The Mayans will not find that entertaining! ;-D Now, a serious question for those who know: How is a "solar cycle" measured? The article points out that the length of time varies, so what determines the start and end of a cycle? |
