Looks like all that flap yap about the sun going inactive and creating another Maunder Minimum was just that. Flare after flare, and beautiful auroras.

 
I think it is not uncommon for solar flares to occur when the Sun is quiet.

Do you have evidence that they are not?
"One interesting aspect of solar cycles is that the sun went through a period of near zero sunspot activity from about 1645 to 1715. This period of sunspot minima is called the Maunder Minimum. The "Little Ice Age" occurred over parts of Earth during the Maunder Minimum. So how much does the solar output affect Earth's climate? There is debate within the scientific community how much solar activity can, or does affect Earth's climate. There is research which shows evidence that Earth's climate is sensitive to very weak changes in the Sun's energy output over time frames of 10s and 100s of years. Times of maximum sunspot activity are associated with a very slight increase in the energy output from the sun."

Are you sad...........Your side has been wanting ice for a long time now.

It's based upon the count. Are you arguing that NASA's forecast is wrong?

NASA didn't predict a Maunder Minimum. NASA's prediction is more in line with the Dalton Minimum.

LOL No, the sun is arguing with that forecast. Right now the sun is in a very active cycle. That is hardly typical of a Dalton Minimum.

Can you quantify very active? You know... like NASA does?

Good ... absolute scientific proof man-kind has no effect on the climate ... let's all burn some tires in celebration ...
