Is it possible that the disappearance of sun spots for the first time since the "little ice age" indicates a huge swing in solar activity?

- Retric 18y agoThey disappear every ~11 years and have been for a while but the next cycle has not started yet so some people think it might be while. Anyway, check: (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_variation http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_variation) Edit: If you graphed solar radiation received at the outer surface of Earth's atmosphere you would see solar output over the last 100 years as a long line of 1,366w/m with some peaks at 1,367w/m and a possible drop into 1,365 territory.
