New boost to global warming stories

Just as I thought global warming stories were going out of fashion, along comes sunspots. And strangely, all the people who used to write about doomsday global warming are suddenly writing about doomsday lack of sunspots.
I personally think its all part of survival instincts … humanoids on the African plane possibly spent their time watching the big hunters and then swooping in to steal their kill. So, we just can’t help be interested in death and destruction, hence the “car crash” syndrome whereby drivers can’t help watching the pile-up on the other lane helping create a new pile up on their own.
Likewise, when the biggest, most ugly planet-eating predator in town (the sun) decides to change its spots, in kicks 1,000,000 years of evolution and we just can’t help watching this predator strut its stuff.
The bigger the disaster, the bigger the casualty count, the more compelled our natural car-crash-goggling instinct  kicks in!

    It may also be that, at least since the Moon landings, we have had no national or cultural goals. A society that has no focus is susceptible to hysterics.
