Is A New Holocene Cool Period Coming?

Hmm

From the link

Century-scale solar activity patterns mark the onset of the next Little Ice Age cooling period.

Newly published research utilizing historical solar magnetic field phase analysis documents the impact of solar activity on Earth’s temperature.

Cold “Little Ice Age” periods can be reliably linked to Grand Solar Minima (GSM).

For example, during the Maunder Minimum (late 1600s to early 1700s), solar irradiance is thought to have declined by about 3 W/m², and consequently, the Northern Hemisphere cooled by approximately 1°C.

Based on pattern analysis, it may be assumed that the onset of the next GSM has arrived, and global cooling will occur over the next few decades.

It’s interesting, but, will it happen? Remember, we had concerns over a coming Holocene cool period (HCP) when rising temps went flat and even negative from the 50’s thru the late 70’s, and the Holocene warm period returned. We had the Big Pause. Eventually the world will go back to a HCP. That’s the nature of the Holocene period over the last 8,000 years. Cool warm cool warm. Will the world move into a true non-glacial period? Return to a glacial period? Time will tell. I will believe it when I see it, because there have been many times over the last 50 years when solar activity dropped. It’s like the current warming period: it’ll go where it goes. We do not have enough information to compare with previous warm and cool periods.
