I had a little trouble peering through the sensationalism. Talk about take a simple statement and knead and stretch it to fill the room. Take one person saying "Looks like we are headed for the solar minimum" add a dash of inference that another has said "We will all freeze for decades"

Having skimmed the linked Zharkhova paper I cant read into it that we will all freeze for a couple of decades, perhaps they thought that some people might look at it, have their eyes glaze over at all the technical jargon and trust the Herald Sun's statement based on TL/DR, or better still not click the link at all. Without having time to really soak myself in it it looks to me that it is examining the relationship between sun spots and particular magnetic phenomena in the sun.

All I read into the "article" is that now would not be the time to buy a solar scope as it is going to be a comparatively dull target for a while.
