The sun is fine. There is nothing extraordinary nor remarkable about
this minimum.

Here's a quote from the web:

"The most recent minimum was in March last year. The new cycle,
No.24, was supposed to start soon after that, with a gradual
build-up in sunspot numbers. It didn't happen. That the rapid
temperature decline in 2007 coincided with the failure of cycle
No.24 to begin on schedule is not proof of a causal connection
but it is cause for concern."
