Everyone misses the point of this story.
You have to have a field strength of 1500 to have sun spots, below that it can’t form.
Regardless of where we were in the cycle, it has been going down steadily.
It is possible it is an unknown cycle, but it isn’t tied to the sun spot cycle itself.
This is new. It could indicate a new ice age is starting.

I didn't miss that. I did get it, but I'm saying that what we've seen that has affected the climate in the past has always been an up-and-down thing or a cycle of some kind. So, no matter whether we know about it now, knew about it in the past, or will know about it in the future -- the fact of the matter is that there have been countless unending cycles...

Well, even if we were to accept that as true, it doesn't mean there isn't a cycle there either and that we would end up "cycling right out of it" once again.
But, I really don't know that this assertion is even true, even if someone (or several) think it's true.
This is new. It could indicate a new ice age is starting.
Well, that prospect was a possibility even before this was known. I don't know if this particular item has anything to do with it, though...
