There is interesting evidence that cosmic ray induced clouds determine the earth's temperature to a significant degree. The recent weak sun spot activity allowed more rays than usual and hence the colder weather. Let's hope that they return to normal levels so that we do not all freeze and starve.
Review the historical cold spell that occurred during the middle ages for additional support for this concept. Very few if any sun spots were recorded during that episode.

Below -78.5 ºC, CO2 freezes out of the air. Perhaps next solar cycle (i.e. in about 10-13 years time)? Regards, Robin van Spaandonk http://rvanspaa.freehostia.com/project.html
