Well, I meant paying attention to the sun rather than actually watching it. When I want to look at the actual sun I use a pair of binoculars and project an image.

we like warmer, yet as the sunspot cycle ends, we are ready
for cooler. . please take care as you watch the sun -- wear
a strong welding shield, we would recommend!!! -- j

these oscillations might also be responsible for those
pesky top secret emails which mysteriously appeared

"Global Weather Oscillations". Catchy! It's so much more inclusive and indistinct that "Global Warming" or "Climate Change".

I can hear it now: "Gee, it looks like it might rain. Must be due to Global Weather Oscillations! When will those damned deniers see the truth?"

Watching the sun, I've been concerned about global cooling for a decade.

One of the things that the global warming people never talk about is that, to a point, warmer is better. If the planet is warming then it will actually be better for some time to come. Cold is associated with famine and disease, warmth with well being.
