Physicists: Earth may be headed into a mini Ice Age within a decade
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Forget about all that man-made global warming alarmism, it 'may' be time to begin worrying about a mini-Ice Age headed our way within a decade. In what may indeed be the science story of the century, scientists at the US National Solar Observatory (NSO) and US Air Force Research Laboratory report that three different analyses of the Sun's recent behaviour all indicate that a period of unusually low solar activity may be about to begin which could mean that the Earth - far from facing a global warming problem - is actually headed into a mini Ice Age:
[...] The Sun normally follows an 11-year cycle of activity. The current cycle, Cycle 24, is now supposed to be ramping up towards maximum strength. Increased numbers of sunspots and other indications ought to be happening: but in fact results so far are most disappointing. Scientists at the NSO now suspect, based on data showing decades-long trends leading to this point, that Cycle 25 may not happen at all.Read more.This could have major implications for the Earth's climate. ...
What's rather refreshing about what these physicists are saying is that the earth "may be" headed into a mini Ice Age within a decade, which means it's a possibility. Contrast this with what we hear from the global warming alarmists who keep telling us, as though they have some inside track on the future, what "will be" happening in (fill in the blank) years and that man can change the climate.
