In 2019 our sun was reaching the end of it's normal 11 year cycle and began approaching a period of minimum solar activity. This one was being dubbed the GRAND Solar Minimum. Some say the solar cycles are the real cause of climate change and that a Grand Solar Minimum is what is wreaking havoc with our weather systems in the early years of the 2020's and that it may even tip us into a mini ice age. So...what does the science say?
