I thought the point was obvious. Only someone ignorant of the science could claim we're heading into a cooling phase because of the sun.
How the fuck would you know?

At least have the honesty to cite Wikipedia as your reference, instead of citing Wikipedia's reference.
You're correct when you note that I should have cited Wikipedia. You're incorrect when you suggest I lack honesty.
And thoughtlessly rude.
Even if the sun goes into a new Maunder minimum, an event which most everyone puts at a low probability, that just offsets 5 years of our greenhouse gas emissions. That is, the only cooling effect it would have would be to delay the warming by 5 years.
Here's where you'll learn how USELESS Global Averages really are.. When the IPCC Minimum (my choice of name) hits --- You will see a 1 to 2degC reduction in the N. Hemi. with a GLOBAL average of only about 0.3degC..
When you discuss solar insolation, the ENTIRE effect hits the mid-lats seasonally, hardly nothing at the poles. Because there's not much sun at the poles is there?
So your ass will freeze A LOT quicker than than a caribou's.. AND it will wipe out ALL the global warming in your lifetime and in your granddaddy's lifetime..

You missed the point that we will not be going into a glacial period for at least a few thousand years by which time we will already be 8-10C and tens of meters high (at least) from AGW. I suspect the next glacial will die-a-borning.
