It seems the sceptic blogosphere is doing a bit of doomsaying of it's own over the last few days – latching on to a controversial claim that the next Sun cycle (we are only half way through the present one) will be void of sun spots – like the Maunder Minimum of the Little Ice Age. We don't know but some sceptics are getting excited – if the world enters a new very cold phase of climate that might put to bed AGW but it will be a tragedy. Cold is a killer – unlike warm weather, which is a blessing.
