“It could happen in a matter of months,” says Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center.

“The sun is entering one of the deepest Solar Minima of the Space Age,” wrote Dr Tony Phillips just six weeks ago, on 27 Sep 2018.
Sunspots have been absent for most of 2018 and Earth’s upper atmosphere is responding, says Phillips, editor of spaceweather.com.
Data from NASA’s TIMED satellite show that the thermosphere (the uppermost layer of air around our planet) is cooling and shrinking, literally decreasing the radius of the atmosphere.
To help track the latest developments, Martin Mlynczak of NASA’s Langley Research Center and his colleagues recently introduced the “Thermosphere Climate Index.”
The Thermosphere Climate Index (TCI) tells how much heat nitric oxide (NO) molecules are dumping into space. During Solar Maximum, TCI is high (meaning “Hot”); during Solar Minimum, it is low (meaning “Cold”).
“Right now, it is very low indeed … 10 times smaller than we see during more active phases of the solar cycle,” says Mlynczak

Displays times of Cold, Cool, Neutral, Warm, and Hot since 1940.
Record cold in a matter of months
“If current trends continue, it could soon set a Space Age record for cold,” says Mlynczak. “We’re not there quite yet, but it could happen in a matter of months.”

I've been hearing this every one of the last 20 years. The sunspots are going away and we're entering an ice age.
The global cooling advocates make stuff up just like the warmists do.

There is new evidence that our sun will not explode and destroy the planets, but cool and turn into a giant crystal.

The sunspots going away has been going on for quite some time. Glad to see NASA has rediscovered this long term cyclical cycle. Even they have realized its time to get over the global warming hoax.

Solar Cycle 24 Going Down As Quietest In Almost 200 Years, May Put The Brakes On Warming

Get used to this people, it could be a great deal worse in Solar 25.

gosh, that almost looks cyclical......

Why do lack of sunspots cause extreme cold weather, I hear you ask? Simple enough, the solar wind normally attenuates cosmic ray intensity. However during times of low sunspot activity the Sun goes into a quiscent state and the solar wind decreases. This in turn means that more cosmic rays, or muons, can penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. This causes greater cloud formation by the growth and formation of cloud condensation nuclei, the seeds necessary for forming clouds in the atmosphere.
