I got to find it, there was a NASA.gov article where they said the Grand Solar Minimum wouldn’t necessarily result in a ice age or mini ice age because of man made global warming. It also emphasized other ice ages had a volcanic event if I remember correctly and the article pointed out there wasn’t any volcanic activity.
I’m pretty sure I’m remembering the article correctly. I’ll try to find it and post a link under this post or another if something new pops up. I remember thinking how stupid they’ll look once the next 5 years pans out. I don’t think a warming period is on the horizon.
high enough to affect atmosphere too
