The scientific predictions are getting crazier by the year. However, it is quite possible they are also true. So, as people prepare more for droughts and problems in this direction (like California and the lack of monsoon rain from India to South Korea and Japan) maybe they should be worrying more about a mini-ice age around 2030 when it's supposed to get very icy throughout Europe and the U.S.
Does this mean that Ice is going to form at the North Pole for 10 or 20 or 30 years too during this mini-ice age? (to replace the lack of it that is killing off most polar bears now?) Hopefully some interbreed with Grizzlies and become Grolar Bears or something like that.
I think this is making living on earth even stranger than it was already getting what with this being the single hottest year (on average) all over earth in 136 years of record keeping.
One can kind of see this with everyone who has died in Karachi in June and India in May and the 65,000 treated for sunstroke in hospitals in Karachi in June so far this year from the highest temperature Heat Index of 141 degrees Fahrenheit (which probably would kill almost anyone who didn't have ice cubes or an air conditioner running on them at the time.)
If we have this:
The Maunder Minimum, also known as the "prolonged sunspot
minimum", is the name used for the period starting in about 1645 and
continuing to about 1715 when sunspots became exceedingly rare, as noted by solar observers of the time.

Then this was 70 years (between 1645 and 1715). I wonder if the Northern and Southern Hemispheres are ready for a mini ice age? And I wonder how much this would reduce tillable land once it froze into a mini-ice age? Will the coming Maunder Minimum last 70 years too?
And what will this cause to human civilization here on earth if it starts between 2030 and 2040 and then lasts for 70 years once again?
