A new study has found that even if the sun's intensity was to tone down considerably for the remaining part of this century global warming would continue unabated.
The sun has an 11-year solar cycle during which its luminosity differs according to the number of sunspots on its face. The normal cycle has little effect on Earth's weather. However, sometimes lulls in sunspot activity can continue for decades, bringing down the sun's luminosity to a "grand minimum". The Maunder minimum began in 1645 and ended in 1715 and may have been a leading factor in causing the little ice age.
Health Effects of Global Warming
Greenhouse effect causes excessive heat to build up in the earth’s atmosphere causing global warming and affects the environment and health.

They found although temperatures would fall by as much as 0.3 degree Celsius, global warming would push up temperatures by 3.7 to 4.5 degree Celsius - almost opposing any effect of a global minimum.
Gavin Schmidt, a climate modeller at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, corroborates the finding.
Some Poor Benefited By Global Warming, Others Hurt
Most projections assume that if prices go up, the amount of poverty in the world also will go up, because poor people spend a lot of their money on food. But poor people are pretty diverse.
