In July of 2017 I wrote "The Ice Age Cometh..." describing how actual astrophysical science was potentially pointing in a much different direction that "Climate Change" Science.
We are again heading into a significant solar minima (2019 to 2020). This means few if any sun spots and a reduced solar energy output. For those with a modern education this means less energy from the sun to warm the earth.
NASA satellites have shown for some time (2002 - 2009) that the thermosphere (outermost layer of atmosphere) is cooling and shrinking (see this and this). Does this mean we are headed into a new ice age?
Of course, there are skeptics (this for example, though written in 2013 before the minima and seems to exclude NASA satellite data).
In any case there's a lot to show no one really knows: hypothesizing is fine as is measuring actual data. But so far, at least, there's not a lot of reconciliation between the sciences.
And let's not forget about Mars and it's now measured effect on our planet...
