Maybe those in England and northern Europe would like to be able to grow grapes and make wine again like they did in the warm period before the Little Ice Age (when sunspots almost non-existent).

This is getting pretty far away from echos, but your own source says:

The reasons for the Little Ice Age are not entirely understood. There are different theories as to what caused it including a string of volcano eruptions, a change in the ocean’s circulation, an orbital cycle, or an increase in human population.

Some scientists speculate that (lack of) sunspots contributed to the
Little Ice Age but none claim that was the primary cause (and thisdayinwinehistory.com doesn't even mention it.)
