The graph since 1750-ish strongly suggests that cycle 25 is
about to start.

This is the scientific paper that they have mangled to get that
headline. Zerohedge should really be called zerotrust.

I would give it odds of no more than 10% of being right.

Most other solar sunspot predictions tend towards the next solar cycle
being miserably boring. Annoying when you have an H-alpha prominence
filter. Time was when you would get a few really exciting flares to half
a solar diameter and naked eye sunspots from time to time.

Hasn't been anything that interesting for more than a decade now.
1960's sunspot cycle was unusually active.
