The truth is the solar maximum the name scientists give to the period when the suns activity levels are highest might be the weakest peak seen in nearly 200 years.
Two historical periods of low solar activity the Maunder Minimum (1645-1715) and the Dalton Minimum (1790-1830) coincided with extended periods of global cooling, the heart of a 500-year cold period known as the Little Ice Age.
