We've all come to expect that Global Warming is a thing and many people have embraced it for the awesome experience that it will bring - endless bikini pool parties.

But what about when nature's pendulum swings back the other direction and as per usual, overpowers all of mankind's tiny inputs? Scientists are considering the prolonged lack of solar activity in cycle 24 to be indicative of a significant solar minimum. The last time the sun was so inactive was a period lasting for nearly 70 years known as a Little Ice Age (the Maunder Minimum and Dalton Minimum). It will be interesting nonetheless given modern equipment and sensors to really see how anomalous solar activity affects the Earth's climate.
