That's not really relevant though as it is discussing a full scale ice age. What the article is saying is that the sun is approaching conditions last seen in previous "min ice ages". They also don't say that Earth will experience those changes, just that the Sun's conditions will be similar, though I would assume the affects on Earth would be similar, though possibly mitigated by higher CO2.
It will be interesting to see what happens with temperatures if the sun does decrease in activity, as the sun has been more active during our modern temperature rise, and we don't seam to be on any path to reduced CO2 emmisions.
