Thought solar minimum may be related to climate change in the past, so that's why you get pinged too

Ok, I'm late to the story, but isn't it interesting that the Maunder Minimum seems to match up with the "little ice age" dates? What does this say about global warming?

The eleven-year solar cycle is actually twenty-two years. Halfway through, the magnetism of the sunspots reverses.

Great article. Sunspot activity also affects radio communications. A series of books I'm hooked on,
1632, by Eric Flint which is a SF story that sets and entire town of modern folk into the middle of Germany in 1632 has to take this into account as it continues. Seems that during the Maunder Minimum, it would have been difficult to use shortwave radio for long distance communication because you wouldn't get the atmospheric skip that you do today.
BTW: the above link is a free copy of the entire 1632 novel available from the Baen Free Library.
You can download several books from the series and many others, free of charge. No registration, no nothing. They are available in several different formats. I highly recommend the 1632 series.
