“He added, however, that the study also showed that over the past 20 years, the number of sunspots had remained roughly constant, while the Earth’s temperature had continued to increase.”
And the earth wouldn’t have a large heat sink that would have dampened the affect, would it? Say like a large body of water.
Idiots.
It is called heat inertia. It is most readily seen in the Summer after the Soltice, the days get shorter, but the heat increases for months after.
The full affects of the decrease in sunspots won’t be felt for years afterwards. IOW, get ready for increasingly cooler temps even if the sunspots rebound. If they don’t rebound then hello LIA, or worse.
