When we enter this era again, upward prices on farm commodities will be the norm, affecting the economy as much as rising oil prices did from 2002-2010. The Sun’s energy output and Solar Irradiance do affect our planet's weather in repeating cycles, and through 400 years of sunspot observation, it seems we are starting to repeat a cold period of either the 1830’s (Dalton Minimum) or 1650’s (Maunder Minimum) era. During the height of the Little Ice Age 1650, it was in general about 1-2 degrees Celsius colder than at present. Winters were bitterly cold and prolonged, reducing the growing season by several weeks. The prices of grain increased and wine became difficult to produce in many areas and commercial vineyards vanished in England. Storminess and flooding increased and in mountainous regions the tree line and snowline moved southward.
