I remember reading about this when I was an undergraduate in the early 70's. The Maunder Minimum coincided with part of the little ice age (1500-mid 1800s). Whether the low in the sunspot activity was the cause is not known with any certainty, if I recall correctly. Current theories of man's impact on climate trends also have uncertainties as those theories are based on modeling results. Climate is complicated.
