Wouldn’t it be great if scientists could make their minds up? One minute they’re telling us our planet is warming up due to human activity and we run the risk of potentially devastating environmental change. Next, they’re warning that the Earth is heading for a mini ice age in the next 15 years.

The latter headline has its roots in a recent press release from the U.K.’s National Astronomy Meeting that reported on a study suggesting the sun is heading toward a period of very low output.
