                                          Hmmm, Ok It's just I'd always seen it written as the Maunder Minimum and never as an "effect". Although there are other effects that make use of the Maunder Minimum. BTW: If it is correct, it makes some of the global warming stuff look like nonsense. Regardz Colin J Davies
