Have we done the incipient mini ice age?

If not, why not?

Britain braced for mini-ice age as temperatures are set to drop to a 300-year low - BT

For dear old Freako, this story relates to a lowering in the sun's output which may lead to a return to the conditions of the Maunder Minimum, you know, the low temperatures that don't show up on that fatuous hockey stick curve so beloved of the greenies.

Sarah Ineson, a Met Office scientist and lead author of the study said: "This research shows that the regional impacts of a grand solar minimum are likely to be larger than the global effect, but it's still nowhere near big enough to override the expected global warming trend due to man-made change.

Another scientist priest spouting nonsense that cannot be justified. <mod snip>

You can see what's coming.

Basically Global temps are going to take dive, but because this is due to solar activity there will need to be an adjustment to global temperatures to take account of the Solar minimum, so "the adjusted global temperatures" will continue to rise.

Also glacier lengths and sea ice measurements will also need to be adjusted to take solar activity into account, so any increase in ice due to solar activity will be removed.

They'll probably also do the same with precipitation, so although there might be more rain, the adjusted precipitation will be lower so that "in effect" there will be a "permanent drought".
