It's been a long, cold, lonely winter but, here comes the Sun. (And yes, it's all right)

Today's 'Independent on Sunday' has a very interesting article on sunspot activity by Felipe Fernandez-Armesto.

With the snappy title of 'It's been a long, cold, lonely winter but, here comes the Sun. (And yes, it's all right)' , it not only explains the effect of sunspot activity, but also throws-up an interesting observation - 'unusual activity in the Sun means unusual weather on Earth, and unusual weather on Earth helps to cause freak political and economic events'.

The article is well-worth a read and can be found at:
