What would the beginning of a Maunder type minimum look like? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Sunspot_Numbers.pngIn this image it looks like the sun sputtered like a car engine that is not hitting on all cylinders for several years before it really hit bottom. I hope I am not too much of an alarmish.  |

If you want to take drawings of the solar disk taken with a pinhole "camera" for evidence, the sun at the maunder minimum looked the same as the sun at a quiescent time in the modern maximum.
Of course, the records of crop prices and famine during the period tell us that it was colder than normal. The shifts in trade routes back up the historical records, as do the dates of last and first frost, date of rivers freezing, and all the other data sources the "climate scientists" are so fond of ignoring in their search for grants.
While correlation is not causation, the drop in solar activity in the Maunder, and the Dalton, is well correlated with solar minima. There are hints from the Medieval warming period that the sun was very active during that period. As there are for the Classic and earlier warm periods.
