"The worldwide network neutron monitors that have since been established gather data that have shown there is a correlation between periodic solar activity and the earthly neutron count."
"Right now we are near the solar minimum, but neutron counts are still increasing. The current science says that if we had passed solar minimum, neutron counts should be decreasing.
Michael Roynane writes today:
The Bartol Research Institute of the University of Delaware manages five real-time neutron monitors, at widely dispersed locations,[u] all of which indicate that over the last six months cosmic rays are increasing.[/u] This would not support the hypothesis that we are past solar minimum and suggests that solar minimum has not yet been reached."
