This is certainly reason for hope that the Maunder Minimum will offset the damage from anthropogenic global warming. If it's a severe and long-term cooling as in the XVII century, it might be enough for us to get our ducks in a row and reduce emissions in the short term (Peak Oil would have run its course by the time the Minimum ended) and come up with geoengineering projects for the long-haul. -- Kevin Carson Research Associate, Center for a Stateless Society http://c4ss.org Homebrew Industrial Revolution:  A Low-Overhead Manifesto http://homebrewindustrialrevolution.wordpress.com Organization Theory:  A Libertarian Perspective
