No, it's already started. Who wrote this drek? Maunder just didn't erase the spots off the sun in one go...it took nearly 3 decades to bottom out...

But the idiots who bought into anthropomorphic global warming - and some of them are on Free Republic - have to pretend that this is a new discovery as the scam collapses.

Maunder Minimum ping!
Actually, people were just starting to experiment with reflecting telescopes around that time. While they were getting the bugs out, an inordinate amount of solar energy was sent back into space by these devices, leading to anthropomorphic global cooling.
During the 17th century, after a period of fierce competition with the English, the Dutch became the predominant power in Indonesia.My point is that any major eruptions like Krakatoa or Pinatubo would probably have been noticed.
But there’s huge areas of the Earth that have and had had massive volcanic eruptions.
The Aleutian Islands and the Unalaska pennisula...
The Pacific Northwest (Mount St Helens, anyone?)...
Central Africa...
The Kamkatka pennisula in Eastern Russia, far North of Japan.
Even Mt Erebus in Antarctica is volcanic.
None of these places were yet settled by record keeping humans... just explored, but volcanic activity could have certainly occured when they were not being explored.
Recently there was the 10Be proxy study as cited in:
Beryllium 10 and climate (a Wattsupwiththat blog publication)
However, the 10Be proxy theory was promptly shot down with claims of unrepresentative sampling, and variation of deposition. That was subsequently backed up with claims of lack of statistical support from observation of sun-like stars. The solar irradiance theory ultimately being dismissed when correlation between sun-spot minima and ultraviolet irradiance was found to be a factor of three times to five times lower than expected to produce a significant global warming contribution based on present-day climate.
See: Climate: The Vanishing Solar Factor (a Space Daily publication)
Just looking at the historical data of average temperature of the earth, we are somewhat overdue for the Big Chill.
Time runs from right to left. The more "noisy" appearance of the more recent data is due to having more closely spaced measurements for that period.
Thanks for the global cooling ping.
