The right panel shows the face of the Sun as it looked on a good day during
the late Modern Warm Period. Sunspots are the apparent size of craters on
the moon. The left panel shows a spotless Sun as it looks today.

his religious expectations. Al Gore is a divinity school dropout. George
Carlin had a better grasp of the true nature of God's creation, than does Al

World Bank chief says global economy in "dangerous times"

Washington, 12 March (IranVNC)-World Bank President Robert Zoellick warned
of a worsening global economic crisis, telling the London-based Daily Mail
newspaper that economic output was likely to shrink by 1-2 percent this
year.

"My guess is that growth will probably fall 1 to 2 percent," he told the
paper in its Thursday edition, reports Reuters.

Noting that such negative growth has not been seen since the 1930s, he said:
"So these are serious and dangerous times."

Zoellick also said that trade would likely fall at its fastest rate in 80
years, adding that Eastern Europe was especially at risk.

Leaders of the Group of 20 rich and developing nations, who are due to meet
in London on 2 April, should focus on resolving problems in the banking
system rather than additional fiscal measures to jumpstart the global
economy, Zoellick suggested.

"Stimulus plans will be like a sugar high unless you fix the banking
system," he told the paper, according to Reuters.

Zoellick's remarks come on the heels of a warning by the head of the
International Monetary Fund, Dominique Strauss-Khan, that the world had
entered a "Great Recession", London's Telegraph daily reports.

"The IMF expects global growth to slow below zero this year, the worst
performance in our lifetimes," he said on Wednesday.
