Are We Entering a Mini-Ice-Age?

Sun spots come and go in cycles of about 11 years which in turn come and go in intensity.

From history we know that whenever the cycles themselves become weak, we have entered a period of cold weather. These so called mini-ice-ages have lasted anything from a few decades to more than a hundred years.

What is rarely mentioned by climate experts these days is that the solar cycles are currently becoming weaker, and that it very much looks like we are entering a prolonged period of little solar activity.

Could it be that we are about to enter a new mini-ice-age?
