Solar cycle 23 sunspot group re-emerges

On Thursday solar cycle 23 sunspot group S740 re-emerged near S08W64. Today NOAA/SWPC assigned it #10116.

Solar cycle 23 is now 13 years long from first spot to present one, an extension of the already record long solar cycle!

Besides space plasma physics, I also have education in paleoclimatology, meteorology and oceanography.
Having said that I am becoming seriously concerned that we are really headed for a second 'Dalton Minimum' and it's attendant global cooling for a period of 20-30 years.

Another 'Dalton Minimum' will put quite a strain on resources such as food and petroleum.
