An immediate question is whether this slowdown presages a second Maunder Minimum, a 70-year period with virtually no sunspots [which occurred] during 1645-1715
This period of solar inactivity also corresponds to a climatic period called the "Little Ice Age" when rivers that are normally ice-free froze and snow fields remained year-round at lower altitudes. Great time for our country to have the lowest grain reserves since the Great Dust Bowl period of the 1930s.
And our grain reserves will not be increasing thanks to that wonderful government program that turns food in to an inefficient and corrosive fuel at great expense.
Longer winters mean shorter growing seasons and smaller crops. Might be a good idea to lay in a few extra provisions for the lean years ahead.

If this is true, we are going to beg for Global Warming. Even a “mini” Ice Age would be incredibly damaging to our economy and food production. There would be famine, war and death in Third World countries. And it would all be a result of sun activity, not man. It would show us just how little we mean in the Earth’s climate history.

Doing so might create a dent in the magnetic field of the corona that might reverberate enough to affect the internal magnetic field of the Sun.It's difficult to perceive the size of the Sun and the immense energy it unleashes every second. A million Earths can fit inside the Sun. The Sun's diameter is 1,000 X that of Earth. I would imagine a 1,000MT bomb would have the same effect as a grain of sand hitting Mt Everest.

Earth has never, never been in the cab of my pickup truck, especially over the last month here in Memphis when the outside temp has constantly been near 100 degrees and inside around 140...
Bring on the ice age, Earth, or bring some stronger freon!!!!

Not to worry. The hole in the ozone layer will kill us long before this happens.

The left understands this. Progressives are never happy until millions are dead. They want every one to prepare for AGW when cooling is happening so we can bring it on sooner and cull the herd.
Whenever a progressives speaks the exact opposite is the truth...

a few more logs on the fire, Just about ready for winter here in my neck of the logs. Ah, the warmth of logs on the fire beats any heat found other than the Sun. Doing my part to keep the greenhouse gasses in our atmosphere.

Well, "free trade" proponents and their Chinese consumers will be happy about that.

Kow-um bonga!! How will we survive an ice-age and golbal warming at the same time? Remember in the 70’s this guy from ‘’Mission Impossible’’ was predicting a comming ice age, then fore his body cooled it was global warming some queerbait was predicting.
Hang onto your money, ignore these queers.

They'll turn on a dime, the whole cabal Man, I love this site. Until your post I had not considered that possibility - I am embarrassed to say. Who would call them on it?
This article mentions a mini ice age. A real ice age is due. Could be a 1000 years but it will come. We have hard historical data to support that. It's just a matter of when.
