- Livingston and Penn work which suggests the visibility of sunspots will drop.
© Science@NASANOTE: NASA have used an offset Y axis, visually misleading, the slope is far less than shown.

- Monopole solar activity as suggested was the case during a previous solar minimum based on work with unpublished solar drawings in Scandinavian university archives. (vague because I can't remember the source)
On looking back at various Talkshop articles the following surprise dated March 2011 turned up.

Vuc had helped out by telling me about data which extends the dataset back in time a little. I think more luck than law but it suggests there is a significant meaning in detail cyclic content.

This stuff is complex, no doubt, but it's not impossible to get a grasp of.
Dr. Jack Eddy tore into the subject of Solar-induced terrestrial weather, likened the view as one of a patch cord with oodles of plugs in a ginormous tangle. He eventually threw his hands up in the air, having had enough.
Rest assured that there are many fine minds at work, instead of a lone scientist, these days.
As for the things going on with the Sun these days, it's serious business as far as civilization is concerned.
And the monkeywrench in the gears is the fact that the Sun & Earth do not stand alone in a void.
I'll post up my latest graph that shows the reluctance of the Sunspot belts to coalesce, which I believe is a prime piece of evidence on what exactly is going on. Keep this article from disappearing down the rabbit hole of archive, pretty-please.
