Sunspots at Millennial High

Apparently sunspots are at a 1,000-year high. In the past a correlation between low sunspot activity and low temperatures (including the Little Ice Age). Over the last hundred years sunspots have been increasing; could this possibly be why the globe is warming? Nah, it couldn’t possibly be the massive fusion reactor in the sky.

The article does note that sunspot activity has been constant for the last twenty years, and that in 1,150 years it has never been as active as in the past sixty. Is it possible that sixty years ago activity increased, and now it’s at a peak, and over the past twenty years temperatures have been increasing to catch up? Maybe not—I’m no climatologist.
