“That’s a rather elegant lie about the multi-cycle “no sunspots” periods during the Maunder Minimum.”
I’m afraid you’re too cryptic for me. Care to explain further?
There’s no lie involved, all we know from the astronomers in those days is they could see no more spots. They had no idea why - if they were completely gone or were invisible.
What we do know is temperatures across the globe went quite a bit lower.
