If I understand correctly we have just begun the solar minimum cycle that will last approximately 11 years.

So AOC was correct - in 12 years globull warming will hit us and destroy the earth.

Gosh darn, that AOC sure is a smart gal.

Well, I’ll be darned. Good point!

Sorry, the entire cycle takes 11+/- years.

Thus the minimum is the middle or low point and it will soon begin to increase. This is the period of strongest dipolar field strength so coronal mass ejections are minimal. The earth goes through a similar reversal periodically... 70,000 years but we are way overdue.
