A load of info. Wool blankets and cold weather crops in our future?

I remember reading years ago somewhere in some obscure history book, that Kentucky, back during the civil war—around 1862 or so—not only experiencing pretty big battles and chaos, but to add to the misery, at least one killing frost during during the spring and summer growing months. Making produce difficult to harvest. Much less having any production at all.
Wonder if this related to a similar sun cycle (assuming this book was correct)?

Fortunately, the solution for Global Cooling happens to be exactly the same as the solution for Global Warming — more communism!! [/s]

The Sun is the biggest influence on the planet’s temperature. If the Sun cools, you can expect a cooling on Earth.

The world was beginning to come out of the Maunder Minimum, and the Little Ice Age, during the Civil War period. I think the coldest years were the 1840 - 1855 period.

Here they go again, scientists that is, trying to predict the “future”. They can’t accurately predict tomorrow’s weather.
Like the disclaimer you always hear in stock ads, “past performance is not a predictor of future results”.
THEY ARE GUESSING!
It’s fun, and scientists need something to do, but I’ll believe it when I see it.

Just to keep you all in the information loop for springtime seed selection and crop planning .
If you believe in global cooling, you might want to get seed for more tolerant conditions,
or plan on selecting crops which don't require as much time until maturity or productivity.
Hybrids are grown for productivity and for market; Heirlooms are grown for consistency and proven viability in various adverse conditions.
Many of us have already diversified crops, and many have already sown seed indoors for spring transplanting.
This is just an alert to keep you informed in your planning and planting future.

Better start increasing carbon footprints.

The Sun is the biggest influence on the planets temperature. If the Sun cools, you can expect a cooling on Earth. Crazy talk. Expect a visit by the Hallucinogenic Al Gore Re-Indoctrination Department, aka "HAGRID"...

If you think a solar minimum is going to happen it would be wise to plant trees that would survive at least one zone colder.
You can also stock garden seed for one zone colder but since your garden is a yearly thing you don't have to do as much preplanning.
Your trees will be in the ground for at least two years, if you are planting saplings, before you see any results. Five is more realistic. Nut and fruit trees with a fish pond (don't forget the cattails and wild rice) is the easiest and quietest way to have food.

Some years back I ran a thread hereabouts where I was tracking the sun’s weather this way.
I was calling the new minimum the Gore-Hansen Minimum.
It seemed suitable somehow.

Early May 2017. The fruit trees were in full bloom. Plums. Apples. Peaches. May 18th...+24F...killing frost. No fruit at all. The prior year had been exceptionally productive with apples, plums and grapes.

Have some Chicago Fig trees in the basement to protect them. Will plant in June. The cherry trees planted 2 years ago are rated to -40F. December 2016 saw -27F in my backyard.

This one should be called the Eddy Minimum.
John Allen "Jack" Eddy
It was one more defeat in our long and losing battle to keep the Sun perfect, or, if not perfect, constant, and if inconstant, regular. Why we think the Sun should be any of these when other stars are not is more a question for social than for physical science.
