Nice article. But if during a grand minimum, more cosmic rays are admitted into the earth's atmosphere, resulting in a dissociation of accumulated gases into a smaller subatomic particle, the energy released by this process is released into the thermosphere which might result in a reaction with the ozone layers(although i have no evidence of this), one thing seems certain. If we are approaching a grand solar minimum by the year 2200, it is still a pretty long time and the damage done a global warming of the earth's atmosphere may be too severe to be reversed. Moreover, a grand minimum according to the article would also cause an ocean warming due to eruption of underwater volcanoes, therefore causing a rise in the ocean level. Nonetheless, whether in the case of a grand solar maxima or minima, the odds all seem to be stacked against our favour. Droughts, famine and low humidity does not bid well for anyone including the plants. Makes me wonder if there is any hope for us.
