The sun is pretty hot in NYC this morning. Hot streets, just steaming with the sound of jackhammers all around (lot of construction going on in my area).

The women in NYC are so lucky, they get to wear short skirts and tiny sundresses. I have to wear my business suit. But that's not stopping me from taking my lunchtime walk up 5th Avenue to Central Park where I can watch some of them.

Don't know what to make of this global cooling due to sunspots but it's happened before and is on the historical record. The "Year Without A Summer" in 1816 is pretty well documented. Exactly 200 years ago. But I think that was caused by volcano activity and not lack of sunspots.

Actually, it’s global cooling due to lack of sunspots.

Decreasesd sunspots are a sign of less solar magnetic activity.

Less solar magnetic activity means more cosmic rays hitting Earth.

More cosmic rays lead to more condensation of water molecules in the atmosphere, meaning more clouds (this is actually reproducible in a laboratory with appropriate apparatus, rather than unvalidated computer models).

More clouds mean more solar energy reflected back to space.

More solar energy reflected back to space means less hitting earth.

The remainder is left as an exercise to the student.

The Year Without A Summer was a combination of cooling caused by the eruption of Mt. Tambora superimposed on the Dalton Minimum.

1816 was due to Mt Tambora erupting.

Take care on that lunch break ... been there, done that, the heat under the collar can get frustrating!
