The all encompassing Climate Change/AGW Thread..

Climate is going to be changing again, because of the sun, which after all is the single biggest influence on our climate.

The sun has gone blank twice in June 2016: Mini ice age?

Doesn't the sun go through cycles?

Is not entering a period of minimal activity?

I don't mind a little cold weather, prefer it over the heat TBH

Yes and yes. The sun is unquestionably the single biggest influencer of climate on Earth. In it's cycles of lower or minimal activity, it tends to bring on much cooler climactic events, including ice ages. The last time similar solar activity occurred, it was followed by the little ice age in the late 1600s and early 1700s. It was so cold the Thames in London froze.
