BBC – Real risk of a Maunder minimum ‘Little Ice Age’


From Watts Up With That:
It’s known by climatologists as the ‘Little Ice Age’, a period in the 1600s when harsh winters across the UK and Europe were often severe. 
The severe cold went hand in hand with an exceptionally inactive sun, and was called the Maunder solar minimum. 
Now a leading scientist from Reading University has told me that the current rate of decline in solar activity is such that there’s a real risk of seeing a return of such conditions.

I'd rather have global warming. If we get a little ice age a whole bunch more useless liberal Yankees will be headed my way! Got more than enough of them already.
