Because the Little Ice Age coincided with a long period
of weak solar cycles.
Periods
of weak solar cycles are associated with periods of global cooling.
4) The AMO might be heading for a cool phase, and this combined with a continued cool PDO, on top
of a weak Solar Cycle 24 could prove interesting.
Not exact matches
Another model predicted that
cycle 24 would be
weaker than recent
cycles, but the present model's accuracy in predicting past events and scientists» deeper understanding
of the underlying
solar physics may give it an edge, according to David Hathaway, a
solar astronomer at NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center.
The biggest
solar storm in recorded history, called the Carrington event, occurred at the end
of another especially
weak cycle in early September 1859.
But now new sunspots are moving into view, and a new
solar cycle seems to have dawned this past December, which NOAA and other experts expect to be one
of the
weaker cycles since the 1750s.
That is below average for
solar cycles, making the coming peak the
weakest since 1928, when an average
of 78 sunspots was seen daily.

Patterson, sharing Tapping's concern, says: «
Solar scientists predict that, by 2020, the sun will be starting into its
weakest Schwabe
cycle of the past two centuries, likely leading to unusually cool conditions on Earth.»

To answer your question, for what I know, there are regions
of the Earth were the 11 -
solar cycle is quite evident and other regions where it is
weak or it seems that it is not present.
2009 and 2010 were two
of the hottest years on record, despite the
weak solar cycle.
«The main driver
of all weather and climate, the entity which occupies 99.86 %
of all
of the mass in our
solar system, the great ball
of fire in the sky has gone quiet again during what is likely to be the
weakest sunspot
cycle in more than a century,» according to Virginia - based weather forecaster Vencore Weather.
On balance the evidence shows that
solar is more likely the cause than CO2 but the issue can soon be resolved by observing the global temperature changes that occur as a result
of the extended
cycle 23 and the probable
weak cycle 24.
So, i guess there is a
weak ozone variation in the course
of the 11 - yr
solar cycle.
Therefore,
cycle 24 proves to be 30 %
weaker than the previous
solar cycle, which reached 119.7 in July 2000, and thus belongs to the category
of moderate
cycles, like
cycles 12 to 15, which were the norm in the late 19th and early 20th century.
Another article
of mine in the works is a prediction that we are headed into a
weak Dalton minimum over the next two
solar cycles or so.
On balance the evidence shows that
solar and oceanic variations are more likely the cause
of recent observations
of warming in the air than increasing CO2 in the air but the issue can soon be resolved by observing the global air temperature changes that occur during and after the extended
cycle 23 and the probable
weak cycle 24.
The planets may have a spin - orbit coupling effect on the Sun which affects its rotation rate, which would then affect the
solar dynamo and sunspot production, and therefore the build up
of magnetic flux at the poles, and the length
of a
solar cycle: if the
solar cycle is
weaker with less sunspots, it'll take longer for the build up
of opposing flux to reach the point when it flips the poles.
The cooling fears
of the 60's and early 70's coincided with slightly
weaker (but still historically high)
solar cycle 20 and the recent cessation
of warming occurred during
cycle 23 which has been slightly
weaker than the two
cycles before it.
I think you dismiss the effect
of quantitative things like forcing changes and imbalance, and even if I told you the much
weaker 11 - year
solar forcing
cycle is detectable in the temperature record, you would dismiss that on the same principle despite the observations showing it.
We should prepare now for dangerous global cooling (By Paleoclimatologist Tim Patterson, professor in the department
of Earth Sciences at Carleton University in Ottawa)-- Excerpt:

The Milankovitch
cycles are
weak from the point
of view
of net
solar forcing, but they affect the albedo through systematic changes in northern ice cover during the months when there is more daylight.
«The slowdown we see now means that
Solar Cycle 25, peaking around the year 2022, could be one
of the
weakest in centuries,» says Hathaway.
What I do know for sure is that with a negative PDO, a
weak solar cycle and an AMO that will be heading south soon; we shouldn't have long to wait to get a resonably accurate attribution
of natural and anthropogenic causes.
7.4.5.3 Synthesis Although there is some evidence that ionization from cosmic rays may enhance aerosol nucleation in the free troposphere, there is medium evidence and high agreement that the cosmic ray - ionization mechanism is too
weak to influence global concentrations
of CCN or their change over the last century or during a
solar cycle in any climatically significant way.
Concerning space weather, future studies should focus on analysis
of the long - lasting and very deep
solar cycle minimum and related very low level
of geomagnetic activity in order to estimate its influence on long - term trends in the ionosphere, particularly on future trends, as we can expect
weak solar cycles in the coming decades.
The early part
of the 20th century saw a
weak solar cycle, but that quickly changed.
The full amplitude
of solar cycle forcing is about 0.25 W / m2 [64], [71], but the reduction
of solar forcing due to the present
weak solar cycle is about half that magnitude as we illustrate below, so the energy imbalance measured during
solar minimum (0.58 W / m2) suggests an average imbalance over the
solar cycle of about 0.7 W / m2.
▷
Weak Climate Science Purely statistical models that presuppose the existence
of «
cycles» (commonly
solar cycles and / or ocean - current
cycles); also ad hoc models that ascribe climate - change to (e.g.) fluctuations in cosmic ray intensity.
Judging from the sunspot numbers (Fig. 7B and [191]-RRB- for the past four centuries, the current
solar cycle is almost as
weak as the Dalton Minimum
of the late 18th century.
Thus a decline in
solar energy will have an immediate effect if it occurs at a time when the overall balance
of all the oceanic oscillations is negative as now (2007 to date) when the end
of solar cycle 23 is significantly delayed and the late start
of cycle 24 suggests a
weaker cycle than we have had for some time.
From the sunspot
cycle maximum
of the first
weak cycle,
solar minima occurred from; 1018, 1117, 1217, 1320, 1428, 1550, 1672, 1805, 1884, 2014.
When the amplitude
of the 1000 - year
solar signal is adjusted by its wavelet power (figure 81), a high correlation between North Atlantic iceberg activity and the 980 - year Eddy
solar cycle corresponds to the periods when the 1000 - year
solar signal is high, while the correlation is low at periods
of weak 1000 - year
solar signal, strengthening the relationship between climatic Bond events and
solar activity, that has been acknowledged by multiple authors, starting with Gerald Bond himself (Bond et al., 2001).
The report which contains statements like this: «Although there is some evidence that ionization from cosmic rays may enhance aerosol nucleation in the free troposphere, there is medium evidence and high agreement that the cosmic ray - ionization mechanism is too
weak to influence global concentrations
of CCN or their change over the last century or during a

The forcing from changes in total
solar irradiance alone does not seem to account for these observations, implying the existence
of this unknown amplifying mechanism.The cosmic ray - ionization mechanism is too
weak to influence global concentrations
of CCN or their change over the last century or during a

What are your thoughts about how a
weak solar cycle occurs during a swarm
of highly intense
solar cycles?
We had some very low total
solar irradiance, and
of course a current
solar cycle that is the
weakest in a century.
