All I know for sure is.....
It reached 100 degrees in the shade on my back patio yesterday. Close to, if not a record.
I'm READY for a solar minimum. Bring - it - ON ! (please)
But....
THIS article seems to debunk Mini Ice Age stories and claims....?
False claims of a coming ice age spread through ecosystem of unreliable news sites, blogs, and social media accounts
It "seems" credible, although I didn't spend too much time studying it.
So much conflicting information these days.
Here is information possibly supporting the Maunder Minimum and a potential cooling period.
The Maunder Minimum and Climate Change: Have Historical Records Aided Current Research?
Bottom line....
If "Man Made Global warming" is true, then too bad, because the worlds largest producer of CO2 is China, and China doesn't adhere to outside advice.

So, adjust and wear your Sunscreen. That's all you can do.
If the US tries to "Save the World" by crippling it's economy while the rest of the world continues to create massive amounts of greenhouse gasses, then everyone will suffer, but Americans the most. And if it brings the end of life on the planet, well, that's just the nature of mankind. If not greenhouse gasses, then nuclear war..... Deal with it.
