Indeed, pervious studies have tied increases in the C14 in tree rings, and hence
reduced solar irradiance, to Holocene glacial advances in Scandinavia, expansions of the Holocene Polar Atmosphere circulation in Greenland; and abrupt cooling in the Netherlands about 2700 years ago... Well dated, high resolution measurements of O18 in stalagmite from Oman document five periods of
reduced rainfall centered at times of strong solar minima at 6300, 7400, 8300, 9000, and 9500 years ago.»
