What's Wrong with the Sun?

The Hockey Schtick
* "Something appears to have changed inside the sun, something the models did not predict. But what?"
* "These findings have thrown our best computer models of the sun into disarray."
* "high solar activity has a disproportionate warming influence on northern Europe"
* "The ultraviolet is varying much, much, much more than we expected"
* "The heat input into the stratosphere is much more variable than we thought"
* "solar activity is just one natural source of climate variability."

"The Sun follows an 11-year cycle of high and low periods of solar activity. It is now leaving a notably quiet phase and scientists expect to see a sharp increase in the number of solar flares as well as unprecedented levels of magnetic energy."
