Two types of people tend to talk about global warming: informed scientists who suggest you should be scared and something must be done.
And people who are trying to sell books. Put it this way: See how many scientists buy beach front houses. If you dont believe in global warming; try and get your house by a river insured, when businesses bet on it, its time to get scared.
Does this mean global warming is not happening? Does it mean that all those scientists at Harvard, Yale, Princeton, UCLA, MIT and the government agencies like the NOAA and EPA are wrong? Whew! Now that I know everything is going to be OK I'm going to take my girlfriend out for an ice cream.
Are you saying the weather is occasionally cold?
Quick, somebody, get this asshole a medal!

Apparently they saw a few sunspots in October but that's been ab0ut it for 2008 and the guys in the observatories are going nuts. Last time anybody ever went two months without seeing sunspots was just prior to and during the Little Ice Age. Welcome to LIA-2: God's plan to make demokkkrats look stupid.
You need to get caught up on reality gunga

There was an ice age in 1955?
You are a riot gunga. Your statements are always out there to be sure.
Not to mention the late 19th and early 20th century, when years with between 200 and 300 sunspotless days were common. Everybody remembers the Great Ice Age of 19oo, right, Gunga? Pathetic. Seen any more alien life on Mars lately, Gunga?

And it's producing sunspots this year, and it went comparable periods since the little ice age(while global temp. was rising, I might add) when there were no sunspots. So your point is?
The June story certainly does nothing to back up your story about October.
In June we were in a low period. No surprise since we were still in that low in July and August. You claimed there were no sunspots on October to start this thread. You also claimed there had never been 2 months with no sunspots since the little ice age in the 1600s. You were incorrect. This story doesn't make your earlier statement true. Your claim was and still is false.
They are like weather forecasters though. Here is their prediction of sunspots through 2017. Note the name of the file includes the word "predict."

The point is we're presently seeing the same signs which corresponded to the Little Ice Age and the dog-stupid dems go on talking about man-made 'global warming', the evidence be damned.
We are seeing the same signs we saw in 1954 and in 1900, but you want to claim it is 1600.
Nothing new from you there gunga. You get your years mixed up all the time.
