Maunder Minimum more confirmation from scientists.
Penn offered another, more catastrophic option: the sunspot cycle might die altogether. His team uses sunspot spectra to measure their magnetic fields, and his data show a clear trend: the magnetic field strength in sunspots is waning.
Sunspots' magnetic field
Penn's research shows that sunspots' magnetic field strength is declining over time. Sunspots can only form if the magnetic field is greater than around 1,500 Gauss, so if the trend continues, we could be headed for a time where no spots appear on the Sun's surface.
M. Penn
“If this trend continues, there will be almost no spots in Cycle 25, and we might be going into another Maunder Minimum,” Penn states. The first Maunder Minimum occurred during the second half of the 17th century. Almost no spots were seen on the Sun during this time, which coincided with Europe’s Little Ice Age.

They think that the Maunder Minimum will have no effect on anthropogenic global warming.
"The thousands of buoys that we have deployed after 2003 to measure the ocean temperature, have not registered any temperature rise."
This is just totally wrong, even if we ignore the rapid warming of the deep oceans (as is clear from a simple examination of the figure above). The ocean heat content data can be downloaded from the National Oceanographic Data Center here. The heating trend since 2003 in the upper 700 meters of oceans is equivalent to nearly 1 Hiroshima atomic bomb detonation per second (plus another 3 per second in the deep oceans). Both the shallow and deep oceans are accumulating a whole lot of heat, with no signs of slowing whatsoever. If anything, the heating of the oceans and the planet as a whole is accelerating.
The Pause lengthens again – just in time for Paris
No global warming at all for 18 years 9 months – a new record
By Christopher Monckton of Brenchley
As the faithful gather around their capering shamans in Paris for the New Superstition’s annual festival of worship, the Pause lengthens yet again. One-third of Man’s entire influence on climate since the Industrial Revolution has occurred since February 1997. Yet the 225 months since then show no global warming at all (Fig. 1). With this month’s RSS temperature record, the Pause beats last month’s record and now stands at 18 years 9 months.
The objective of man-caused global warming is to help governments gain complete control over the energy sector.
She isn't actually against the global warming theory, she's just studying the sun. Predictably she has been under attack ever since.
Here's one site discussing it: https://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press...
And her paper: http://iopscience.iop.org/article/10....
"Professor Valentina Zharkova (Northumbria University) ... predicts a "Maunder Minimum" from 2020 to 2053."
Looking forward to it!
Site. I will definitely take a lookToday , to speak out as a scientist about other factors that contribute the climate is blasphemy.. It is not a good idea to ignore the sun

Quoting calculations from the Heritage Institute
See recent post by our Temlakos
--------------------------------------------------
As a result of the plan, one can expect that by 2035, there will be:
An overall average shortfall of nearly 400,000 jobs;
An average manufacturing shortfall of over 200,000 jobs;
A total income loss of more than $20,000 for a family of four;
An aggregate gross domestic product (GDP) loss of over $2.5 trillion; and
Increases in household electricity expenditures between 13 percent and 20 percent.

Justified by computer models which we already know are wrong,
A futile attempt to reduce some global average temperature by a fraction of a degreeC in one hundred years.
How disappointing for the Evil Hag.

And what happens to the "average" family (however defined) need not happen to you.
However, the decision we (governments) are faced with is to act, or not.
Should our decisions on action be driven by
fake science, lies, sloppy emotion appeals for saving the planet,
blackmail and intimidation of those who disagree,
for certain cost now running at $1.5 trillion pa, that has a severe downside
predicted by the Heritage model, the downside as MM correctly says can be
ameliorated.
Or, should they do nothing?
Or, better, cut government money going to looters and parasites who infest
education not just in humanities and social 'science, but in science and
technology.
Human genius is better applied not to dealing with
government messes but to devising benefits - laissez faire.
The entire Global Warming issue is a contrived scam so that people pushing Solar power, wind trubines and Carbon Credits all can become billionaires all at the expense of Truth and integrity! That you can take to the bank!
He even uses the name of a legitimate, honest genius, Tesla, as the moniker on his government supported rubbish. I saw a new Tesla while walking today with a card that claimed "zero emissions" where the license plate will go. My immediate thought was that I was the one with zero emissions. The Tesla just transfers the emissions to somewhere else while also expecting others to pay for the roads it is using (since government does not impose fuel taxes on the Tesla.) Tesla claims to be superior while looting others for its existence. Typical manipulative corporatocracy looter.
Musk quit as an advisor to the Administration
Well Elon don't let the Whitehouse door hit you on the ass on the way out.
Tesla said "it doesn't bother me that they steal my ideas it bothers me that they don't have any of their own ideas"
To my knowledge humanity's accuracy predicting climate or climate change, has been zero at best.
More importantly, the Maunder Minimums are associated with the Age of Reason.
"The longest minimum on record, the Maunder Minimum of 1645-1715, lasted an incredible 70 years. " (Here http://ossfoundation.us/projects/envi... ) From the original article cited above: "... during the second half of the 17th century. Almost no spots were seen on the Sun during this time, which coincided with Europe’s Little Ice Age."
We can deal with the weather easily enough. It is the "Re-enlightenment" that will be more important.

I agree that under this stress and for the same reasons some will go insane, others will arise to a higher state of awareness but we also must be aware, this time around might just be worse than the last time due to complicating factors like shield weakening and magnetic pole movements, not to mention, suspected, even some admitted evidence but otherwise unproven...Humanoid interference, (ie. geoengineering).
At least M. Penn was willing to look but as history shows, the magnetic fields will regain their strength when facing earth again after the grand solar minimum cycle ends and Jupiter and Saturn move from their present influential positions.
...or, as a famous European Physicist says..."there seems to be something else going on"...
