Saying we’re “heading for a Dalton minimum” is like saying we’re heading for a World War II. It’s a specific, named event in the past. We may very well be heading toward a solar minimum, but heading for a “Dalton” minimum is nonsensical.

There is nothing nonsensical about making reference to a comparative event in the past when you have no existing event in the future to which the comparison can be made.

From what little I understand about the various minimums, They use the names of the most well-known to describe the severity of upcoming minimums. So a “Dalton” is less severe than a “Maunder”.

We just need a name to blame it on. Dalton is a good one!

You can’t single out “Dalton”. You must quote both terms “Dalton Minimum” given the independent meaning of Dalton’s law.
