I didn’t have time to read the entire article but I noticed it mentioned a period of very low sunspot activity at the time of the “little ice age”, from 1645-1715. Were they aware of sunspots back then already and did they have good enough telescopes to actually get good data? I didn’t think they would be able to detect them back then.
They've been observed and recorded over 2K year ago in China, same in Greece. West really didn't start studying them until early 1600's though and then recorded them, although there weren't many to worry about for 60-80 years (Maunder Minimum) not long after they started observing/recording.
Amazing how the sun can heat and cool the Earth daily easily by 50 degree's, Day vs. Night, or cool it long term for decades during a minimum sun spot period or vice versa BUT an SUV and a few cows will destroy the Earth after a pittance of existence with their inconsequential "emissions". |
