The center of the Corn Belt, now in Iowa, will move south to Kansas, says Archibald.
Using solar and surface data, David Archibald, polymath, makes a bold prediction that temperatures are about to dive sharply (in the decadal sense). He took the forgotten correlation that as solar cycles lengthen and weaken, the world gets cooler. He refined it into a predictive tool, tested it and published in 2007. His paper has been expanded on recently by Prof Solheim in Norway, who predicts a 1.5°C drop in Central Norway over the next ten years.

Cold is also needed to stop the pine beetles from killing so many pine trees.
Solar Activity Past, Present, Future
Several lines of evidence suggest that the Sun is entering a period of low activity, perhaps even a Grand Minimum. Average space weather might be milder with decreased solar activity, but the extreme events that dominate technological effects are not expected to disappear.
So as you point out, even during a weak solar cycle, an Earth directed major eruption can occur.
Warming, cooling, same thing. It’s a disaster either way, according to libbies, and it’s our fault — especially that Bush person.
