An interesting article. The claims and the responses in big white letters on red

The claim: A 'Grand Solar Minimum' will halt global warming -- False
The claim: Global warming is good -- [unrebutted]
The claim: Climate change action will make people poorer -- Needs more context
The claim: Renewable energy is dangerously unreliable -- Misleading

Thousands of posts on social media, ... claim a "Grand Solar Minimum" will lead to a natural fall in temperatures, without human intervention....
A grand solar minimum is a real phenomenon when the Sun gives off less energy as part of its natural cycle.
These are called scare quotes.
