Why Some Scientists Say Global Warming Is Out and Global Cooling Is In

In a world riddled with climate-change doomsday predictions, a small but growing number of scientists are saying the highly touted climate models predicting steadily increasing global temperature due to humans’ carbon-dioxide emissions are wrong and that Earth could soon face something even more dire: global cooling.

One such climate scientist is Valentina Zharkova, an astrophysicist at Northumbria University in the United Kingdom. Zharkova and her team of researchers say that based on mathematical models of the Sun’s magnetic activity, it’s likely Earth will experience decreasing magnetic waves over a 33-year period beginning in 2021.

Zharkova is not alone. In 2017, researchers at the Physical Meteorological Observatory Davos, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, ETH Zurich, and the University of Bern published a model projecting a cooling period “in 50 to 100 years’ time.” Numerous other studies have made similar projections. Indeed, the website NoTricksZone lists hundreds of peer-reviewed papers that argue solar activity and solar cycles have a substantial influence on global climate change on decadal, century-long, and millennial time scales. Some of these papers even argue that solar activity is often the dominant factor driving climate change.

The researchers say reduced solar magnetic activity has previously been linked to historically cool periods in Earth’s history, such as the Maunder Minimum, a period of lower magnetic activity associated with a “mini ice age” that occurred from 1645 to 1715. During the Maunder Minimum, temperatures plummeted to such an extreme degree that Londoners held “frost fairs” on the frozen Thames River.

Writing for the New York Times, historian Geoffrey Parker notes, “The unusual cold that lasted from the 1620s until the 1690s included ice on both the Bosporus

The Maunder Minimum does not produce a full blown ice age....whatever the heck that is. The Maunder Minimum produces what is called a mini ice age.....that has extreme cold and long winters but glaciation is not as great

Since a time with severe glaciation is much longer than recorded history there is no way to know if people survived.

All countrys survived ice ages else earth would have no dry land

The Maunder Minimum produces what is called a mini ice age.....

For which there are images - depicted by artists of the time, before cameras.

Who is claiming an imminent ice age?

What is being claimed is an imminent, like starting today, Maunder-like minimum (aka, Eddy minimum, aka ManBearPig minimum) and lasting thru the next 75-150 years.

The next ice age is probably on schedule, to hit in about 10,000 years.

Two different animals.

They are claiming a Marauder Minimum. That cannot happen now. It must be much worse, simply due to the stupid ape factor. They have been attempting to cool this planet for decades. Add that into the stupid models and you might get a snowball Earth. The human component to warming was helping, but that little bit has been far out weighed by numerous stupid ape factors even worse than the actual intended cooling projects.
