Just what roll a pause in the solar cycle might play in the climate change debate remains to be seen. Perhaps, humanity is getting a brief (and lucky) reprieve, a chance to get serious about controlling our own destiny and doing something about anthropogenic climate-forcing. On a more ominous note, however, an extended cooling phase may give us reason to stall on preparing for the the inevitable, while giving ammunition to deniers, who like to site natural trends exclusively.No bias there...

Saw that and noted that the author’s biography indicates that he is some kind of science teacher.
I feel sorry for his students.

The Maunder Minimum was a period from 1645 to 1715 where almost no sunspots were seen. This span of time corresponded to a medieval period known as the Little Ice Age. a 70 year pause should give the globull warmers plenty of time to prepare.
