Could someone please give me the 1 minute crash course in Solarcycle24. I've read some of Archibald's stuff but it's all a little beyond me. Has Solar Cycle 24 started yet? What am I to look for to see the cycles start? I’ve read that the longer it takes to begin the colder the “cold period” is expected to be. What am I to look for or look at to see the beginnings of this “cold period”? Any websites on this for beginners? Thank you

Yeah, great. Send him to one of the most dominant sources of skeptical alarmism. Yes, Maunder minimum is on the way. No, it's going to be even worse, a SUPERMINIMUM! We are going to head into a little ice age! No, it's going to be a Little BIG ice age! We are all going to freeze over and die! (Ask Dr. Svalgaard for example what he thinks of Jovian cycles and predictions of SUPERminima...) Shivver and fear, and move all to the equator as soon as you can! That's where humanity will make its one last stand against the big bad ice!

Has Solar Cycle 24 started yet?yes What am I to look for to see the cycles start?www.leif.org/research/TSI-SORCE-2008-now.pngor from longer perspective www.leif.org/research/F107%20at%20Minima%201954%20and%202008.pngI’ve read that the longer it takes to begin the colder the “cold period” is expected to be.from the observations yes What am I to look for or look at to see the beginnings of this “cold period”?The solar activity is overlayed by decadal oceanic cycles sometimes working against each other. For example, there was an ueberstrong solar cycle in 1960 but overall temps dropped because of cold wave of oceanic cycle. But now we have cold PDO, soon-to-be-cold AMO and solar minimum starting in one time, so check the northern extratropics (free of ENSO noise) to get the overall trend idea.

Yeah, great. Send him to one of the most dominant sources of skeptical alarmism. You dare to denigrate the sources I provided but provide no sources of your own? Sad.
