Son of Mulder.
I recently saw an article on the WUWT site to do with solar cycle 24 being overtaken by cycle 25, thus no change of polarity.

Which led me to a guest post by David Archibald indicated on another page of the WUWT site.

Where I found a link to; theglobalwarmingnow.wordpress.com site, which also linked (eventually) to:
http://www.warwickhughes.com/blog/?p=181
Now I'm interested!
Thus, I decided to address the source of the anomaly. NASA! The nearest subject that I found to this anomaly was this page;
http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pa...ws/solarcycle24.html
but it isn't the full anomaly. There is a link at that page that suggests greater clarity, but the link is "broken" (the Apache server returns an Error 404, "URL not found").
http://solarscience.msfc.nasa.gov/sunspotcycle.shtml
By now I'm beginning to think that NASA, with its large budget, is skimping on the budget for their comms net stuff, but then I found this!

By courtesy of the first page I saw at WUWT!
Is NASA winding the spring, then ducking out to avoid implication? I suppose I could be deluded into thinking of a "conspiracy theory" on this! There again, there is also pertinent evidence of a slide into some sort of sunspot minima period that includes low maxima level, seems to be initiated by NASA, but is somehow removed from NASA.
What are your thoughts SoM (either on solar activity, or NASA policy)?
Before you say it. Yes! I would also like the opinion of Steve_M on this!
Best regards, suricat.
