Sunspot activity continues to be very low to nothing at all. According to some sites that I have read, it appears that we my have gone into a second solar minimum after a recent, brief upturn in activity.
Latest image of the blank sun.
The latest prediction as of March 2009 indicates that sunspot activity will soon start to increase very shortly, but we have heard this before. Some predictions from over a year ago anticipated a solar minimum during March of 2008.
By the way, I am on vacation this week. Mark Paquette is filling in for me and will be handling most of the posts and comments.

Soon, as in: not yet.

I'm looking out my window and all I see are clouds. It would seem that cosmic theory is just making clouds all over the Pacific NW. Cosmic rays and climate
A bunch of debunked nonsense surrounded by lies? No thanks.

There’s no scientific basis for forecasting climate. Zing................!
If this were true, then why do you keep claiming that you can predict future climate?

Well, preliminary results seem to indicate that 2009 is going to be quite a warm year, as it's starting to look like an El Nino is beginning to form: Model Outlooks for El Niño and La Niña
It's not certain, of course, but it's beginning to seem likely.
I'd also like to point out that even if the solar irradiance were decreasing, as you seem to believe, we wouldn't feel the effects yet regardless: it takes about ten years for the Earth's temperature to catch up to changes in solar irradiance.
