"And since the planet has now entered a Grand Solar Minimum, "
Folks like Zharkova predicted a GSM starting with a very depressed solar cycle 25. Instead cycle 25 has been above average for the point in the cycle. IMO the specific GSM hypothesis associated with Zharkova, et. al. has been disproven.

There are others (e.g. suspicious observer) predicting a very cold near future, but it is based on earth magnetic field weakening (which it is doing) and has a non-distinct timeline.
It still might happen....I'm just saying the specific GSM hypothesis made by Zharkova and then popularized (ice age farmer, adapt 2030, etc) has been disproven. Her model is invalid. It didn't get it correct 2 yrs into the future, let alone decades.

tellingly the sun has not gone silent, but Zharkova has...
Let's see what happens heading into 2024.
