-—— a steady rise in the solar constant-——

Assuming there is a solar constant, a rise or conversely a fall, would mean there is not a solar constant but a variable.

Does have implications....seems to me.

The existence of the Mauder Minima would strongly say it is a Variable

The variation in solar irradiance is small and the term "solar constant" originated before the time that the small variations in solar irradiance were measurable.

Yes, perhaps it should no longer be referred to as a "solar constant".
