The sun's surface has been fairly blank for the last couple of years, and that has some worried that it may be entering another Maunder minimum, the sun's 50-year abstinence from sunspots, which some scientists have linked to the Little Ice Age of the 17th century.

That's like worrying that we'll enter another Medieval Warm Period. We may well be entering another minimum, but another Maunder minimum would require time travel, as it was a specific historic event.

You're reaching. If someone said, "We could enter the Maunder minimum" then you could say that. But no one is or has been saying that. Just as when people say that we could enter another great depression no one is thinking that we'd be entering the same one that ended over 60 years ago.
