OK, so a bunch of people have asked, in both email and on Twitter, why I haven’t commented on this yet
Earth heading for ‘mini ice age’ within 15 years
The earth is 15 years from a “mini ice-age” that will cause bitterly cold winters during which rivers such as the Thames freeze over, scientists have predicted.
Solar researchers at the University of Northumbria have created a new model of the sun’s activity which they claim produces “unprecedentedly accurate predictions”.
They said fluid movements within the sun, which are thought to create 11-year cycles in the weather, will converge in such a way that temperatures will fall dramatically in the 2030s.
Solar activity will fall by 60 per cent as two waves of fluid “effectively cancel each other out”, according to Prof Valentina Zharkova.
This is not the first article I’ve read on this prediction, and I’m sure it won’t be the last that is trotted out.
That said, this is still a prediction. Yes, it is based more on science, rather than “computer models”, hysteria, and politics, but, it is still a prediction. Will it happen? Maybe. Maybe not. Time will tell. But, I’m not into predictions, at least not that far out. I blast Warmists for making them, and I won’t believe this type of prediction till it is closer to happening, which I have stated multiple times. I’m comfortable predicting that the Giants will win a Super Bowl in the next 15 years. Not something like this. I take all predictions with a tub of salt.
