No its not good. We could possibly see an ice age and for the poster before you the article is not wrong. The only ones saying look out for an active sun are the ones that want money to prepare. The good news is it would take more than a lifetime for an ice age to set in. Also there’s nothing we can do about it or to cause it.

Exactly right.

Actually, nobody really knows how long it takes for an ice age. The former conventional wisdom said 400 years plus, based on Greenland ice cores and stuff. But that was an upper bound; more recent research on the start of the so-called Younger Dryas suggests ice ages can happen in less than 100 years, and the warming up at the end less than 20 years.

However, we can be sure women and minorities will be worst affected.

An ice age wouldn't happen in a year, but significant changes could happen in as little as a decade. During the last major ice, the British Isles went from being warmer than today, to largely covered by glaciers, in about a century.

Thanks for your take. I’m thinking now it is a chicken-little-bogus manipulation of some kind. If I see real data from real scientists who have convinced me that somehow they have clean credentials, I will not give this credence.

I’m glad it won’t be as hot as Al Gore said, (it never was going to be!) but I don’t see it(the cooling) as a crisis climate change that we have to give more power to the government(s) to control us!

I have an idea that will work. To prevent an ice age, have elections every year, that should generate enough HOT AIR to keep us all living in a tropical zone till the sun gets through this cycle.
