NASA'S REVISED SUNSPOT PREDICTION WOULD MEAN WE ARE HEADED FOR A MAUNDER MINIMUM-LIKE LITTLE ICE AGE

WUWT:

The solar cycle 24 predicted sunspot maximum has been reduced again – predicted peak down to 59 Max. (1/3/11) http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/predict.shtml

“It’s tough to make predictions, especially about the future. Philosopher Y. Berra

This will be at the level of the Maunder Minimum of 1675 -1715.
Previous NASA predictions below:

• 2010 October: Predicted peak 60-70
• 2009 May 29: predicted peak: 80-90 range
• 2009 Jan 5: predicted peak: 100-110 range
• 2008 Mar 28: predicted peak: 130-140 range

From the NASA page:

Current prediction for the next sunspot cycle maximum gives a smoothed sunspot number maximum of about 59 in June/July of 2013. We are currently two years into Cycle 24 and the predicted size continues to fall.

BRRRRRR!

IOW: WE ARE HEADED FOR MORE GLOBAL COOLING!

IOOW: AGW = TFBS.
