Scientists are saying that the Sun is in a phase of "solar lull" - meaning that it has fallen asleep - and it is baffling them.

History suggests that periods of unusual "solar lull" coincide with bitterly cold winters.

Rebecca Morelle reports for BBC Newsnight on the effect this inactivity could have on our current climate, and what the implications might be for global warming.

Not sure about the bitterly cold winters, it's been noticeably warmer here this winter and it's really surprising that we haven't had much snow when we normally have a lot.

It is weirdly mild.
I think we need the frosts to kill the germs.
Besides, I love to see a bit of snow.
