>You're right Zenaan, global cooling and a new Dalton Minimum might be about to hit us over the next few years - anuddah "mini Ice Age" possible, apparently:

Yes, it's clear that sunspots are at a minimum.  That said, sunspots have 'always' had a 11 year cycle, at least for the last 200 years or so, and from the graph it's obvious we are at a minimum point.  http://www.sidc.be/silso/dayssnplot  .  It would be considered highly unusual if the sunspots simply stopped at this point.  Even so, the typical area under the peak of the recent sunspot cycle has been decreasing since the peak of about 1980.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunspot

Since increase of sunspots is typically associated with extra solar output, it looks like we are seeing the possibiity of cooling, or at least a pause in heating.
