Nice finds. Thx for posting. Makes for very interesting reading, when it is all put in historical context with names attached. One thing to note, I think we're all just trying to figure out what will happen. I've seen evidence both ways, but nothing that conclusively makes up my mind. I haven't said that we're never going to experience another minimum. On the contrary, I've said that sunspots seem to be pretty clear cyclical short term trends, but that the trend over the last 150 years has been a clear up trend. Go back further and the trends aren't as clear. So maybe there is a long term sun cycle trend. I'm still trying to determine if the longer term sun trends are the dominant factor or if CO2 is the longer term dominant factor. There seems to be evidence to indicate either could be true. I'm simply not as convinced as you that we have an answer one way or another.
