Plummeting temperatures could send the world into a 'mini ice age' (tr)

In a little over a decade the world could be plunged into a 'mini ice age', scientists have warned.

Temperatures will start dropping in 2021, according to a mathematical model of the Sun's magnetic energy.

This, they say, will lead to a phenomenon known as the 'Maunder minimum' - which has previously been known as a mini ice age when it hit between 1646 and 1715, even causing London's River Thames to freeze over.

The study says that between 2020 and 2030 solar cycles will cancel each other out.

The model of the Sun's solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate predictions of irregularities within the Sun's 11-year heartbeat.

It draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the surface and one deep within its convection zone.

Researchers, led by maths professor Valentina Zharkova at Northumbria University, built up on previous research that predicts magnetic waves produced by the sun.

However, she has warned her model could not be used as proof of a mini ice age - in part because of global warming.

Full Title: Plummeting temperatures could send the world into a 'mini ice age' in 2030 and could OVERRIDE global warming, claim mathematicians

When I was growing up a new Ice Age caused by global cooling was all the rage. Now it's back. And they wonder why nobody trusts the climate change people?

BTW, when I did my dupe search I saw similar articles posted on FR from 2015. This is part of that same research, only updated to scare you even more.

Where’s the pic of the “not this s**t again” guy?

Great, moving to south Texas in 2020, could stand it to be a bit cooler - not best for the tomatoes...

What?

Now the polar bears are going to eat my dog Fifi...

Here we go again...

(I envision Earth with her nose in the air, over all of these puny-human, overreaching predictions...)

Time to start burning coal like there’s no tomorrow!.............

Oh wow, i remember in the 70s, we were headed for a new ice age. Now again!

I want Y2k to happen again!

OMG , it’s Winter ,LOL relax

Then we could finally party like it’s 1999.

The sun has nothing to do with the temperature on this planet. The only thing that affects temperature is the amount of man made CO2 in the atmosphere.

Here in New Hampshire I was praying for global warming but all I got was a mini ice age.

I just went outside for a minute and I think we could use some global warming here.

Hehe.
