Sunspot activity on the surface of the Sun follows a well-known but little understood 11 year cycle. Activity rises and falls creating the so-called solar maximum and then solar minimum. During a solar maximum, the Sun is more powerful and is littered with sunspots.
Conversely when the Sun enters a solar minimum – which it did about two years ago - energy from our host star begins to lessen.
However, one expert has warned that the Sun will enter a period of “hibernation” this year, in what as known as a Grand Solar Minimum (GSM).
**SNIP**
“The reduction in temperature will result in cold weathers on Earth, wet and cold summers, cold and wet winters.”
“We will possibly get big frosts as is happening now in Canada where they see [temperatures] of -50C.
NASA warns of ‘MONSTER’ solar flares which could hit in ‘FEW YEARS'
Space weather: NASA predicts next solar maximum will peak on THIS date “But this is only the start of GSM, there is more to come in the next 33 years.”
The last GSM, which comes around roughly every 400 years, came in the 17th century.
Research produced by NASA indicated during this last prolonged solar minimum the cooling temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere were indeed exacerbated by that Maunder minimum.
In 2006, NASA said: “From 1650 to 1710, temperatures across much of the Northern Hemisphere plunged when the Sun entered a quiet phase now called the Maunder Minimum.

Pretty sure quite a few more than one are predicting a solar minimum.
A coming mini-ice age has been a topic on FR for a year or more. Last prediction by a Russian astrophysicist was a cooling period lasting up to 500 years.
What on earth could the sun have to do with weather? Al Gore didn’t say anything about it.
The sun?!?! HA! I drive an SUV - we have nothing to worry about.
Greta Thunberg and George Soros will need a new crusade.
Sounds like enough proof to me to put the entire cult of global warming in Prison and Asset Strip them to nothing.
We’ll be shivering and praying to the carbon dioxide gods to save us.
Hey, I have an idea. Maybe the climate carbon dioxide gods will be pleased if we make a combustion sacrifice of aged, refined fossil goo?
“Pretty sure quite a few more than one are predicting a solar minimum”.
From what I’ve seen, you’re right.
I have been telling libs the benefits of a one or two degree warmer temperature over colder temperatures for a long time.
Trump’s fault; he has a chilling effect.
Last week, NASA released really cool, er, uh, hot new satellite video where you could watch plasma bubble up from the interior, cool along the edges and begin to fall back down. Not that I'd ever want to visit . . .
decisions, decisions...flip-flops or snowshoes...

We can build huge Mirrors orbiting the earth, and reflect sunlight to the earth. They will have the ability to be directional so we can just warm the US. At night we can warm allied nations - for a fee.

Damn...
ICE-AGE?!?? I just bought a beach-front lot on the Arctic Ocean!
The climate changers are jumping off cliffs.
