Meanwhile the guys from "Grand Solar Minimum" Youtube Chanel, who seem to be connected to the website electroverse.net (I'm not sure) and mentioned in the post from thorbiorn in which he refers back to Windmill knights post, have published a new interview with Professor Valentina Zharkova, in which she predicts, quite reasonably I think, that in the next 5 to 10 years we will go into another Maunder Minimum Type of event, in which it will be bitter cold in July, although a bit less severe then back then according to her:
They also published an interview at the beginning of this year with John Casey:
Has anyone read his books?
Casey mentions, rightfully so, that there might be even bigger cycles at play in regards to the sun, of whom we don't know much about while pointing to the fact that every time the earth went into cold mode in the past, warfare, large scale famines and diseases raged through society. He also says that the last warm peaks we have seen in the last couple of years, will be the last ones for at least the next coming 400 years and that it might get even colder then (if other cycles come at play which we don't know about so much).
Both scientist mentioned above are convinced, based on rather solid data (in stark contrast to the global warming "scientists"), that we are entering a Grand Minimum quickly in the next years, and that this one will be a bit less severe then the Maunder-Minimum.
Zharkova Modell predicts a harsher future then Caseys Modell, while Casey makes it clear that russian scientist working on the problem have a even worse outlook, thinking that another ice age is upon us. So Caseys, as well as Zharkovas, predictions are less sever then the russian ones (but still pretty hard).
While both scientist do a stellar job in their fields I think, both don't seem to take other factors into account, which are IMO quite profound and can change this situation to the worse or better (but probably worse).
For example both seem to approach this mostly from the standard models of our solar system in which electricity/plasma doesn't play much of a role. Both don't take into account comets and comet dust. Both don't take into account Nemesis and how this hypothetical brown dwarf might be affecting things.
Having said that, I think it is well worth the time and effort to look deeper into their works.

As I write this post it is almost 15C in Adelaide and raining @ 10.30am. In the past it would by now have been in the low to mid 30s, so I am not complaining. Even though I have lived here most of my life, I could never get used to the heat.
