Grand solar minimum usually means the big one in the 1600s and as a reference to a time with extend period of few to no sun spots lasting the length of at least 11 year solar cycle or more.
The next little minimum, a span of 11 year cycles with little to no sun spot activity will likely be cycles 25 and 26, or 26 and 27, maybe 28 before it picks back up.
Okay,thanks!
I have 11 and 22-year cycles,and of course,the one 70-year cycle written down,but no matter.
The thing that has impressed me,is that solar physicists claim that these sunspot cycles are essentially meaningless,with respect to what would affect the climate.And I've yet to here you mention the solar-related terms which ARE associated with climate-affecting solar activity.Which leads me to believe that your sources are in the dark as to what actually drives heating on Earth.
