evidence: The NOAA release says nothing about Earth’s weather or climate in the normal sense, but only discusses "space weather", which is about solar conditions and effects on the upper atmosphere. Hence, the headline of "Cold weather to grip WORLD as solar minimum to DEEPEN, NASA says" is incorrect and strongly misleading.The first paragraph ("A DEEP solar minimum is set to bring a prolonged period of colder temperatures across the globe, NASA has predicted") is also wrong, as the article says that the next solar cycle is expected to be similar to the preceding one and that they don’t expect a new sort of Maunder Minimum. Moreover, the article says that the steady decline in the solar cycle amplitude has come to an end. [...] Figure – Composite Total Solar Irradiance as daily values plotted in different colors for the different originating experiments. Source "An international panel of researchers led by NASA and NOAA has released a new prediction for the solar cycle: The current solar minimum is going to deepen, potentially reaching a century-class low in the next year or so." [...] "The last time a deep solar minimum was in effect was the Maunder minimum, which saw seven decades of freezing weather, began in 1645 and lasted through to 1715, and happened when sunspots were exceedingly rare. During this period, temperatures dropped globally by 1.3 degrees celsius leading to shorter seasons and ultimately food shortages."
