Interesting that the author suggests that the “mini-Ice Age” will last only 30 years. The Little Ice Age (Maunder Minimum) lasted for about 300 years. Although I fully anticipate that there will be differing opinions, I understand that we are about 11,000 years into the latest inter-glacial period (read: warming period). Typically, glacial periods last about 100,000 years. Warming periods last between 10,000 and 15,000 years. This has been true for a very long time. So, we are on the downward slope toward a very cold period at any time.
There is good news. Man is adaptable. He can exist inside the Arctic Circle or in equatorial Africa. Just think of dressing in more layers. Also good news, I think I will hold on to my house in Palm Beach. As a previous FReeper wrote, I am looking forward to polar bear season in the Keys.
Maunder period had two back-to-back solar minimums with only a modest interval of minimal warming between the two.
