What I do know for certain is the Sun is a bit larger than Earth. Something to the tune that 1.3 million Earths would fit in the volume of the Sun. So, conclusively, the Sun is an itty bitty bit bigger. I also know the Sun is warm. I know this because when I go outside and feel the Sun on my face, it feels warm (although, there's an outside chance that can could be caused by the SUV idling in my neighbor's driveway.) I think there is a correlation between the heat of the Sun and the temperature on Earth. I also think there is a causation between the heat of the Sun and the temperature on Earth. I highly doubt that cow farts and the use hydrocarbon fuels change the temperature of Sun, but I am open minded and I am willing to listen to all evidence.
So when this happens will that weird little Swede start demanding that *more* coal fired plants,*more* diesel cars and *more* airliners be built?
I think it was in the ‘90s when the sunspots were so big that I could see them when cloud cover was right.
Impossible that the sun has anything to do with climate change. It’s caused by humans.. Specifically white privileged racist.
Oh noes! All the sincere efforts of the woke have been for nought!
Quickly - more cow farts!!
It’s easy to misinterpret such seemingly clear correlations when you are not firmly grounded in (pseudo) science.
Let’s stop using fossil fuels just in time to freeze to death.
Un-possible. The Earth is spinning off it’s axis due to CO2 in the atmosphere, per The Weather Channel.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel.
The author had to inject this in the last paragraph.
Call these people out each and every time.
There is no such a thing as a fossil fuel.
Upcoming minimum certainly not propaganda my friend. People have seen it coming for several years and the solar cycles weakened an the sun’s magnetic field weakened.
Wattsupwiththat. is a treasure trove of knowledgeable people providing actual science based information and debunking propaganda. Wish I had the background to understand more of the comments.

They will just lie about the reported temperatures to maintain the lie. They do now. In my area, the “official” reported low temperatures the past two mornings have been 36, and 34 degrees (they changed the 34 to 32 the day after)... the actual temperature has been 28, and 24 degrees (frozen bucket of water proves it, aside from the fact that my thermometers have been calibrated, but not recently, but all show the same temps within a degree or so). The temp right now is 37 degrees, but the “right now” temp on the internet says it’s 49 degrees. It’s like this every day, so the “official” temperature is inflated by nearly 10 degrees over the actual temperatures. This is one of the coldest Aprils I remember, but they will probably say it is in the top ten warmest.
Climate change is not about the climate. It is the justification for a carbon tax to emoer world government. They new the solar minimum was coming—that;s why they changed their jargon from “warming” to “change”.
Obama has a mansion on the ocean. So does Kerry. Checkmate.
Don't hold your breath for any of that. All they have are theories, although I'll take a SWAG over hysterical emotional-driven catastrophizing any day.
and the only reason for the global warming (now climate marxism ) religion is to subjugate people. The stupid ones are always a majority.
Professor Valentina Zharkova has an excellent presentation of her research on youtube of course. It is about two hours long and if you have interest, some background in science and the attention span exceeding several gerbils it is a very good watch.
The presentation is at least 3 years old so this is not news. Her research shows a convincing correlation between the Sun’s magnetic field and sunspot activity both as a predictor and non-visual indicator as I recall.
This solar activity minima is somewhat tempered by a 500 year cycle in Earth’s elliptical orbit of the sun being in close approach. The result, again if memory serves correct, is more violent swings between summer and winter. Deeper winters and longer with short intense summers.
The Sun and volcanic activity make man’s efforts feeble by comparison.

This is a two year old article. Here is the relevant info from NASA which gives more details (no “mini ice age”): https://climate.nasa.gov/blog/2953/there-is-no-impending-mini-ice-age/
The sun is what warms the earth???
I would not have guessed that.
Science - it’s amazing!
Thirty years from now...
