SOLAR ACTIVITY JUST REACHED A NEW SPACE AGE LOW
During periods of low solar activity, such as the deep solar minimum we’re in now, the Sun will often be devoid of sunspots–a great barometer for the depth and longevity of solar minima.
The Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) brought with it a period of lower-than-average global temperatures. The Oberlach Station in Germany, for example, experienced a 2C decline over 20 years, which devastated the country’s food production. The Year Without a Summer also occurred during the Dalton Minimum (in 1816). As did crop failures across Eurasia & the Americas, which led to food riots, famine and ultimately the deaths of millions upon millions of people.
That 40-year temperature decline coincides perfectly with a dip in solar activity.
And so do temperature plunges of the past — preceding the Dalton were the much deeper Maunder and Spörer Grand Solar Minimums.
Taking the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715), we see its 70-or-so year spell of global cold, crop loss, and famine again correlates neatly with a sharp decline in solar output. During this Grand Solar Minimum, the Sun was all-but devoid of sunspots for not just years at a time, but for decades:
