A report from the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory and Mullard Space Science Laboratory suggests the Sun is entering a phase of declining activity similar to the 17th-century Maunder Minimum. Scientists Richard Harrison and Lucy Green explain how reduced sunspots and solar flares historically coincided with "mini ice ages" and the freezing of the River Thames. The hosts suggest this solar data contradicts mainstream global warming narratives and may explain recent shifts in climate terminology.
