Sure animals have gone extinct including dinosaurs. Recall from your grade school science class that dinosaurs lived in an age before humans and did not die off because of humans.

Sure. And animals have gone extinct.
Personally I think the general devastation of habitat is the real concern. When we have monocropped and devastated wildlife and disease or famine run wild our ability to rebound will be very limited.
Did the previous Solar minimum (2009) have the same effect? Did it cause a glacier in Greenland to begin to regrow? The sunspot number was really low then.
The current Solar Minimum is likely affecting the glacier and our climate

Doesn't seem to have cooled much of anything.
Everyone isn't. But some people are thinking that because there is a growing glacier there, it means there is no global warming.
So if climates with marine influence are not good gauges, why then is everyone looking directly at those areas.

I looked into a climate scientists a little bit.
From what I could see the only degree you need is a bachelors . 🤦‍♂️

NASA's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) project has revealed Greenland’s Jakobshavn Glacier, the island’s biggest, is actually growing, at least at its edge. In research published Monday in Nature Geoscience, researchers report that since 2016, Jakobshavn’s ice has thickened slightly, thanks to relatively cool ocean waters at its base—which have caused the glacier to slow down its melt. This reverses the glacier’s 20-year trend of thinning and retreating. But because of what else is happening on the ice sheet, and the overall climate outlook, that’s not necessarily a good thing for global sea level.
That's because, despite the fact that this particular glacier is growing, the whole Greenland ice sheet is still losing lots and lots of ice. Jakobshavn drains only about seven percent of the entire ice sheet, so even if it were growing robustly, mass loss from the rest of the ice sheet would outweigh its slight expansion.
It may sound a bit confusing, but that’s because the reality of climate change isn’t a straight line, say NASA researchers.

No.
