evidence: CLAIM: EARTH could be braced for a ‘mini ICE-AGE' as experts warn a solar minimum could last until the 2050s. [...] According to Nasa, the Sun will reach its lowest activity in over 200 years in 2020. UPDATE (12 Feb. 2020): The Sun has significantly rewritten this article, including changing the headline to "Claim that Earth will enter ‘mini Ice Age’ for 30 years is wrong, top scientists reveal". It now reads, in part: "One researcher warned that the Sun entering a natural ‘hibernation’ would trigger food shortages and temperature slumps – but current data suggests this is completely untrue." [...] Several articles repeat a claim (seen frequently at certain outlets like The Express) that a "mini ice age", triggered by an extended period of unusually low solar activity is on the horizon. There are two problems with this claim: 1) the solar prediction does not reflect a consensus of scientists, and 2) an extended period of unusually low solar activity would not cause global cooling.
