A more detailed analysis of the past four major abrupt cooling events shows that all of them coincide with periods of one or a cluster of grand solar minima suggesting that they are mainly due to low solar activity. (judithcurry.com)
One such study looked at the climate consequences of a future Maunder Minimum - type grand solar minimum, assuming a total solar irradiance reduced by 0.25 percent over a 50 - year period from 2020 to 2070. (sciencedaily.com)
By the end of the simulated grand solar minimum, however, the warming in the model with the simulated Maunder Minimum had nearly caught up to the reference simulation. (sciencedaily.com)
