Default Have you read "Dark Winter"?

I just started reading this book and it's pretty scary, if it's for real..
I'll post again when I've finished the book..

"Dark Winter: How the Sun Is Causing a 30-Year Cold Spell"


I've also been following a YouTube Channel for about a year,
which is all about using the sun as an indicator for predicting bad weather, and Large Earthquakes!

The channel owner also has a website Space Weather News
some of it open to non-paying guests.

The app development being done is very interesting..

Anyways the connection between these two topics is Earthquakes.
It seems that during times of very low sun-spot counts, like:
Maunder Minimum 1645-1715 & Dalton Minimum 1790-1820
Not only did we get a lot of very cold weather, but a lot of big Earthquakes.

I also enjoy reading science fiction books too..
