It's known as the Maunder Minimum.......it is a cyclical reduction in solar output that leads to lower temperatures on earth and is a direct cause of the last mini ice age a few hundred years ago .....
We are heading into one now and global temperatures have been slowly lowering the last few years as evidenced by increases in polar ice, snow in the tropics which we've had for the last 3 seasons and harsher winters...which we've also had.
It is expected that we will start see fuller effects of this coming solar minimum somewhere between 2030 and 2050.
