@EVDHmn I'm not sure about that, but apparently there could have been a #MaunderMinimum triggering the #Megadrought during the #MingDynasty (which I did not know about)!

Excerpt: "Our results indicate that the late Ming megadrought from 1625 – 1644 CE occurred in both the northern and southern parts of the East Asian monsoon region in China. However, variations in the onset, duration, and magnitude of this event differ between regions. The combination of factors such as Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies, weakened solar activity, and large-scale volcanic eruptions may have contributed to the occurrence of the late Ming megadrought. These factors are also identified as key drivers of interannual to decadal fluctuations in drought in the middle reaches of the Yangtze River. Our reconstruction provides an historical context for the development of adaptive measures to mitigate future drought impacts in the region."

Late Ming Dynasty weak monsoon induced a harmonized megadrought across north-to-south China - Communications Earth & Environment

The late Ming megadrought across north-to-south China, lasting from 1625-1644 CE, was influenced by Pacific sea surface temperature anomalies, weakened solar activity, and volcanic eruptions, according to reconstruction of the Yangtze River's water balance using tree-ring chronology.

NOAA confirms a 'full-blown' #GrandSolarMinimum

"#GSM's have the potential to hold sunspots at ZERO for multiple decades. [Apparently, there are currently ZERO sunspots at the moment]. The most famous example is the #MaunderMinimum (1645-1715) which brought plummeting temperatures, crop loss, famine, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people ACROSS the planet."

NOAA confirms a 'full-blown' Grand Solar Minimum

Their press releases surely won't admit it, but NOAA's PREDICTED SUNSPOT NUMBER AND RADIO FLUX data appears to show a 'full-blown' Grand Solar Minimum running from the late-2020s to at least the 2040s. NOAA (who's solar forecasts generally come...

Vandaag 10 jaar geleden https://sailing-dulce.nl/home/article-4547 #klimaatopwarming #MaunderMinimum Zaterdag 08-08-2015 In de achterliggende periode dachten klimaatwetenschappers dat de in gang zijnde opwarming van de aarde niet louter en alleen op het conto van de toename van CO2 en andere broeikasgassen in de atmosfeer geschreven kan worden. Met name variaties in de activiteit van de zon zouden eveneens een grote rol spelen. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan het Maunder Minimum, de periode in de 17e en 18e eeuw dat de..

Kepler’s zonnevlekkenschetsen lossen 400 jaar later zonnemysteries op

Met behulp van modern technieken hebben onderzoekers halfvergeten zonnevlektekeningen van Johannes Kepler opnieuw onderzocht en eerder verborgen informatie over zonnecyclus vóór het grote zonneminimum onthuld.

A Professor of #AtmosphericPhysics juat states what I have online for awhile now in that the #SolarCycles drive climate and that in the run up to the #MaunderMinimum there were also an increase in #volcanoes and the video is accompanied by a link to WikiPencil where they will tell you that AGW is real, as usual because they know better than experts

OOPS!

New piece on #SolarCycles and #sunspots and a very curious statement pops up on a website I have been using regarding the #MaunderMinimum which is both wrong and misleading?

New sunspots have appeared but no .. they do not mean there is no #GrandSolarMinimum and no one said there would be no solar cycle 25 .. they said no solar cycle 26!! This was spaceweather.com?!
