Caused by global warming.

The very unusual drop in the number of sunspots has occurred at *exactly*
the same time as man's production of anthropogenic gasses is at a maximum.
This is a scientific fact which is beyond serious dispute.

Anthropogenic gasses are continuing to increase and the sun
will rev up to a solar maximum, etc. as it have been doing for
millennia.

The difference is that previous solar maximums were natural. This is the
first one caused by anthropogenic CO2 instead of naturally occurring CO2.

Solar cycles are not cause by anything happening on the earth, Peter.

Denial of evidence noted.

Clear, compelling and strong inverse correlation between the number of
reality TV shows and sunspot activity.

Unprecedented, I might add, in previous solar minima.

A glance at St.Peter's profile clearly indicates that He carries the
burden of superstition wherever he goes. It is his comfort blanket
against the terror of the unknown. In St. Peter's case the blanket is
worn rather like any other scruffy evangelist looking for a free meal
of fish sandwiches with a half bottle of Château d'Eau.

While continuing on the culinary theme: Others wear cooking foil
helmets. My sympathy is with the latter if the climate warms as
expected. Bad news for St.Peter though. Who must finally find somebody
else to blame.. and (hopefully) forgive. ;-)

Correlation is a necessary condition for there to be causation, but it is
not a sufficient condition to demonstrate it, even in the realm of
reality...

I think he knows that, and this is an attempt at sarcasm on his part.

Some might say, though, that this natural occurrence was caused by a
beneficent God temporarily protecting us from the consequences of our
poor stewardship of the Earth. But then a solar maximum will come -
fortunately, coinciding with the part of the Pacific Decadal
Oscillation that lowers world temperatures naturally.

Eventually, though, the day of reckoning will come. If we don't get
fossil fuel use and CO2 emissions under control before the natural
cycles start making things worse instead of better.

Natural cycles exist; human behavior also exists and has consequences.

The idea that CO2 levels on Earth can effect the solar cycle is
laughable in the extreme, however, the inverse is a distinct, and
unpalatable possibility to the green lobby.
