Check out the Grand Solar Minimum

-

Our sun’s sunspots follow an 11-year cycle. When people see a high number of spots, the climate stays warm and sunny, like back in the 1940s and ’50s.

In 2018, the sunspots have almost completely disappeare­d. Has this newspaper ever mentioned the Grand Solar Minimum?

Historical­ly, GSM’s correlate with periods of very cold weather on Earth, like the Little Ice Age (circa 1500-1850), which occurred during the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715 AD), when the sun showed zero to very few sunspots, like now.

During a GSM, more galactic cosmic rays enter Earth’s atmosphere, acting as nucleation for raindrops — just like Earth has been having these last two years.

No sunspots equals more cosmic rays. More cosmic rays equals more clouds. More clouds equals more rain and snow. More clouds, Earth’s surface can get cooler.

On May 7, mountain passes in the French Alps still had up to 50 feet of snow on the roads — in May!

Interestin­gly, the changes in our sun also include an increasing number of coronal holes in the sun’s surface. These coronal holes influence volcanoes and earthquake­s on Earth.
