Re: [meteorite-list] Cause of the current snow

I think the cause of the extremely cold winter is due to the extreme Solar Minimum. The climate on Earth is directly affected by the activities of the Sun. Look into solar cycles, and the effect on climate change, there is more to it than you would think. John Higgins - Original Message
