"Sun's low magnetic activity may portend an ice age

The Canadian Space Agency's radio telescope has been reporting Flux
Density Values so low they will mean a mini ice age if they continue."

We're also overdue for an earth polarity shift.

It's actually already started. People have noticed a decrease in the
earth's magnetic field (by 5% according to Wikipedia - I had thought 10%
but I'm not a geophysicist). Here's the article:

<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earth%27s_magnetic_field>

While it won't affect us personally, a nonmagnetic earth would have
great affects for our descendants. The "northern lights" and "southern
lights" occur because charged ions are routed to the poles by the
Earth's magnetic field and then interact with the atmosphere.
Without a magnetic field, everywhere on the earth would be equally
affected. Similarly, satellites would be wrecked by the solar wind.
