   Sunspots hit new highs (Oct 27)

    The Sun is more active at present than it has been for over 8000 years
    according to a new method for determining the level of sunspot activity
    in the past. Sami Solanki of the Max Planck Institute in
    Katlenburg-Lindau and colleagues in Finland, Germany and Switzerland
    have developed a technique that relates the number of sunspots to the
    concentration of carbon-14 in tree rings. However, the team insists that
    this high level of solar activity is unlikely to be the main cause of
    global warming (Nature 431 1084).
