No there isn't, not about the Sun. It just a slow news cycle filler...
How could anyone take the thread/information seriously after the line "I've been a solar physicist for 30 years, and I've never seen anything quite like this," any one that can think after reading this nullity simply disregarded the subject...

This is what it is called, a mini ICe Age... so does the global warming crowd have a reply?
I bet they do....

What about that huge sunspot and the flare we had from the Sun recently?
Also, how can a quiet Sun cause bad weather?
That was a snore.
Once the sun quiets, radioactive decay increases, so the earth tries to make up for it a little. That helps keep earth from turning into a frozen snowball.edit on 18-1-2014 by rickymouse because: (no reason given)

The Sun's gone out. It'll just take a few millennia for it to cool down enough to notice.

The sun becoming inactive and freezing our planet has no relation to global warming.
Global warming is because of greenhouse gases that trap the heat from the sun, if the sun doesn't give off heat then it makes it completely irrelevant.

Could you discuss any evidence relating solar cycle to radioactive decay?

I remember being puzzled by the same thing, but I don't think the replicated or the original data provided anything like five sigma confidence. My conclusion was, the jury was still out and they needed to collect more data and probably needed to look for other sources of error in the data and rule them out. I found the reports interesting but I wasn't really convinced from what I read that they had done more then found something interesting they wanted to follow up on. Maybe they found more and I haven't seen that yet.

There seems to be some replicated data that there is a very minor rate change in beta decay and inverse beta decay rates that is related to solar cycles. Find it puzzling myself.
