The Sun has been going through a quiet spell recently, with fewer sunspots than in almost one hundred years. This can have benefits to satellites, GPS and other systems while even global warming is reduced, albeit by a very small amount.

The sun has been unusually quiet lately, with fewer sunspots and weaker magnetic fields than in nearly a century. A quiet sun is good for Earth: GPS systems are more accurate, satellites stay in orbit longer; even the effects of man-made global warming are marginally reduced, though just by three-tenths of a degree at most."

This is bad news, very, very bad news. I'm not a big know it all or geo-scientist or anything, but What I do know is wisdom. Wisdom teaches that there is always a calm before a storm. But the activities here on earth have a major effect on what happens all around us. The epitomy of the word Butterfly effect is related here. Let us hope that it's dormancy stage is only for preservation of it's own energy and galactic co-habitation. Rather than from our manipulation of the weather via the HAARP program.

Last time the sunspots disappeared for a length of time, we had an ice-age.
