Here’s a link with additional info - some think more like Dalton rather than Maunder. Either way global warming already kaput, and cooler temps. Food shortages already happened-Europe was short on veggies, because of cool weather.

“Current cycle indicate we are entering a Dalton-like minimum
In a recent publication in Space Science Reviews (2013), renowned solar scientists Ken McCracken, Juerg Beer, Friedhelm Steinhilber and Jose Abreu studied the solar minimums over the last 9300 years.
Based on measurements of beryllium and carbon isotopes as indicators for the intensity of cosmic rays, which are modulated by solar activity, the scientists arrived at the result that the minimum of 2007 to 2009 had similar characteristics as the minimums occurring during the time of the Dalton Minimums of 1780 to 1820.
They discovered a 208-year periodicity (Suess-de Vries) of a grand solar minimum in the past. Therefore they anticipate in the near future the events of a Dalton Minimum, but not a Maunder Minimum.”
The name for the current period is the EDDY MINIMUM
Eddy Minimum is the name of my Lead Guitarist in my rock band.
