Situation Report

2020 marked the beginning of the 25th solar cycle. Scientists say the Sun may be going through a long period of decreased activity known as the Modern Grand Solar Minimum from 2020 to 2053. NASA says that there would be any major effect on global temperature rise due to greenhouse gas emissions due to human activities. However Valentina Zharkova say that during this modern grand minimum, one would expect to see a reduction of the average terrestrial temperature by up to 1.0°C, especially, during the periods of solar minima between the cycles 25–26 and 26–27, e.g. in the decade 2031–2043
