I'm asked this frequently, but a lot today given NASA's press release about "Exiting Solar Minimum." So let's discuss.

THREAD: What is the #GrandSolarMinimum? https://www.nasa.gov/press-release/solar-cycle-25-is-here-nasa-noaa-scientists-explain-what-that-means/

Important to distinguish between "solar min/max," normal 11 year cycle, and extended periods of muted activity, "Grand Minima." NASA just says we're entering 11yr cycle.

BUT: look at SC24, we are already enjoying significantly less output. On par, in fact, with Dalton Min.:

During Dalton Min, we experienced non-trivial impacts to agriculture, and resulting food scarcity, plus seismic/volcanic uptick, and everything else we associate w/ increase in Galactic Cosmic Rays.

I attribute recent crop losses, weakened jetstream (polar vortex), etc, to this.

A SC25 on par with SC24, as predicted, will continue those conditions and, more concerning, if we are to trust many models (Zharkova, NOAA's latest predictions , and others), we will drop off into a Maunder-type minimum (zero or nearly zero sunspots) around 2030 for a good time.

NOAA's latest predictions mentioned above, can be found here. Note the extended period where "expected sunspot count" trends to zero -- that is the Maunder-like minimum forecast AFTER SC25.

So: if #GrandSolarMinimum is defined as diminished activity & its effects (like Dalton), we are there now.

If you define GSM to be "zero sunspots" (like Maunder), then wait until late 2020's.

BUT ... (big conclusion coming!)

At this point, the distinction is academic: crops are already suffering, and the globalist/totalitarian/transhumanist Fabians have ALREADY seized upon this opportunity to take total control of food supply and society, and the fight is on now for the future of the human race.

They are preparing -- and so must we. Start growing food. Build resilient communities. Spread the word. Fight the agendas. We will triumph, and their time is short.
