Totally off beam. We've been in a period of the slowest sunspot activity in many years, and the current sunspot cycle we're in (23) is projected to peak in July 2012!

It's no coincidence that global temperatures have been declining as sunspot activity diminished. The Climate Change wackos can't seem to understand that the sun is the most significant influence on global temperatures ... duh!
