Maunder or Dalton?

Joseph D’Aleo has written a paper on current climate trends.

Warming after a cold winter will disappear quickly as it did in 2007

The pop in global temperatures, even the satellite, the last few months seems surprising to some in the Northern Hemisphere where the winter was hard. In Russia, it may have been the coldest on record, while across northern China, Europe and the southern and central United States, it was the coldest since the late 1970s or even the early 1960s. It was not unexpected. We showed the following upper level anomaly pattern was likely for the winter given the low solar, El Nino and developing east Quasi-Biennial Oscillation or QBO (shown in research by our own Climate Prediction Center to modulate solar and El Nino Southern Oscillation or ENSO).

The paper is here. At the end of the paper D’Aleo suggests that there may be a Maunder or Dalton in our future.
