Bicentennial decrease of the solar constant leads to the Earth’s unbalanced heat budget and deep climate cooling

TL;DR: The Earth as a planet will have a negative balance in the energy budget in the future as well, because the Sun is entering the decline phase of the bicentennial luminosity changes as discussed by the authors.

Abstract: Long-wave energy emitted by the Earth-atmosphere into space is characterized by changes in power over time that always lag behind the changes in power of the absorbed solar radiation due to slow variation in enthalpy of the Earth-atmosphere system. Long-term variation of the solar energy radiation absorbed by the Earth remains uncompensated by the energy radiated into space over the interval of time that is determined by the thermal inertia. The basic state of the climate system is when the debit and credit sides in the Earth’s global annual mean energy budget (including the air and water envelopes) are almost always unbalanced. The annual mean balance of the heat budget of the Earth-atmosphere over a long time period will reliably define the behavior and magnitude of the energy excess accumulated by the Earth or energy deficit to allow us to determine adequately and to predict beforehand the trend and amplitude of the forthcoming climate change using the prognosis of variations in the total solar irradiance (solar constant). The decrease in solar constant has been observed since the early 1990s. The Earth as a planet will have a negative balance in the energy budget in the future as well, because the Sun is entering the decline phase of the bicentennial luminosity changes. This will lead to a drop in temperature in approximately 2014. The increase in albedo and decrease in greenhouse gas concentration in the atmosphere will result in the additional decrease in absorbed portion of the solar energy and reduced greenhouse effect. The additional drop in temperature exceeding the effect of decreased solar constant can occur as a result of successive feedback effects. A deep bicentennial minimum in solar constant is to be anticipated in 2042 ± 11 and the 19th Little Ice Age (for the last 7500 years) may occur in 2055 ± 11.

Current long-term negative average annual energy balance of the earth leads to the new little ice age
TL;DR: The average annual decreasing rate of the total solar irradiance (TSI) is increasing from the 22-nd to the 23-rd and 24-th cycles, because the Sun is in the phase decline of quasi-bicentennial variation as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors predicted the direction and amplitude of the forthcoming climate changes with high accuracy, with account for the data of the forecasted variations of the Total Solar Irradiance (TSI) in the future.

The Maunder Minimum
TL;DR: In the years around a sunspot maximum there is seldom a day when a number of spots cannot be seen, and often hundreds are present.

Earth's Global Energy Budget
TL;DR: In this article, an update on the Earth's global annual mean energy budget in the light of new observations and analyses is provided, with the top-of-atmosphere (TOA) values constrained by Earth Radiation Budget Experiment values from 1985 to 1989, when the TOA values were approximately in balance.

Short Term, Direct Indices of Solar Variability
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors identify and model solar activity relevant for understanding and modelling solar irradiance variability, and their temporal characteristics compared Reproducing observed solar irradiances variability requires a minimum of two different types of indices (i.e., irradiance depletion by sunspots and an index for global irradiance enhancement by faculae and network) with appropriate wavelength-dependent parameterizations of sunspot and facular contrasts and center-to-limb functions.
