The original article omitted a little information (it is a NASA document after all) on the Maunder Minimum.

I guess associating the suns activity with AGW would be “taken out of context”...:^)

From Wiki...

The Maunder Minimum coincided with the middle — and coldest part — of the Little Ice Age, during which Europe and North America, and perhaps much of the rest of the world, were subjected to bitterly cold winters. Whether there is a causal connection between low sunspot activity and cold winters is the subject of ongoing debate..

Sorry... my previous post was referencing the NASA article in post #9.
