True, and that weakening strongly affects the amount of cosmic rays hitting our upper atmosphere.

An increase in cosmic rays means more cloud formation, which increases the albedo of the planet, resulting in lower surface temperatures.

Then there are orbital eccentricities which will come into play over the coming decade... It all adds up to an era of very cold weather.
