Abstract
Following a brief discussion of the pertinent sunspot cycles, four extended samples of climatic data are presented in support of the contention that solar-climatic cyclical relationships are of sufficient significance and amplitude to be of practical value in climatic trend forecasting. In this connection it is noted that recent climatic trends have followed earlier expectations based on this assumption. In conclusion, some recommendations are offered for further development of this predictive potential.
