The Sun's inactivity leading to second Little Ice Age. An offset to global warming?

The weakening activity and fading sunspots in the sun and the activated volcanoes suggest that history truly repeats itself - the Little Ice Age is coming back.

Rare Drop in Sunspot Activity Could Cause Little Ice Age

The sun is most likely going into hibernation as the latest unusual solar readings, including fading sunspots and weakening magnetic activity near the poles suggest that we are headed towards a solar event that hasn't happened in hundreds of years, according to new data released Tuesday at the annual meeting of the solar physics division of the American Astronomical Society in Las Cruces, New Mexico.
