An update on our bet Neo, which you declined, about the number of sunspots at the peak of the cycle now underway. My prediction from 22 October 2008 <It is obviously time to short sun-spot activity, hand over fist. The next peak will be 72 [not the highest level reached but the rounded peak]. During the Baby Boom era, it was running at 160. >

The "officials" are still expecting more than 72 ips.gov.au They have an expected peak of 90, which they adjusted way down a year or two after I made my perspicacious prediction which I backed with my own money, not opm.

Meanwhile, are you still really worried about 40cm sea level rise over 100 years? Did you notice the 20 metre sea level rise over a couple of seconds in Japan recently? That's a much more important sea level rise and much more fatal than 5 millimetres a year. Most people can walk away from 5 millimetres a year.

Are you still a true believer in Al Gore, his second chakra and the dreaded Greenhouse Effect causing runaway Global Warming with calamitous catastrophe? Mann Made Warming is getting a lot of bad press and being quietly ignored too.

Look at this "official" prediction. They seem to have adopted my numbers after all. solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov Near enough for government work anyway.

If I remember rightly, I might have lowered my 72 to 60 a couple of months after my first prediction. I'd have to do a search to find it. They have their prediction now spot on mine. Do you think they copy/pasted my prediction without paying a royalty?

Notice too the snowy, cold northern winters as also predicted by your favourite sooth-sayer, who was right and the Climate Change predictors who said children in England would not know what snow is were wrong. They changed their mantra to say that lots of snow was proof of global warming. Such is their attitude to Popper's falsifiability ideas. Whatever happens, is proof of global warming - that sort of "science" can't be beaten.
