The arrival of intense cold similar to what some call the "Little Ice Age" of the late 17th century and early 18th century, is expected in the years 2030 to 2040, according to a presentation during the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales.

Several studies have shown that the Maunder Minimum coincided with the coldest phase of global cooling, which was called "the Little Ice Age". During this period there were very cold winters in Europe and North America. In the days of the Maunder minimum the water in the river Thames and the Danube River froze, the Moscow River was covered by ice every six months, snow lay on some plains year round and Greenland was covered by glaciers," says Dr Helen Popova, who developed a physical-mathematical model of the evolution of the magnetic activity of the sun and used it to gain the patterns of occurrence of global minima of solar activity and gave them a physical interpretation.

"There is no strong evidence that global warming is caused by human activity. The study of deuterium in the Antarctic showed that there were five global warmings and four Ice Ages for the past 400 thousand years. People first appeared on the Earth about 60,000 years ago. However, even if human activities influence the climate, we can say, that the Sun with the new minimum gives humanity more time or a second chance to reduce their industrial emissions and to prepare, when the Sun will return to normal activity."

Dr. Helen can Popova any time she likes ;)
Love the new technology in the background.
Is that her Russian brides photo or what?
Maybe the Ice Age will bump into Global Warming and it’ll just rain a lot.
Hopefully, Algore and his band of wacky, envirohippies will be able to stop it. LOL!
Ping.
Global cooling is real. The science is settled.
Oh, crap. We’ve over-corrected.
“....gives humanity more time or a second chance to reduce their industrial emissions and to prepare, when the Sun will return to normal activity.”
If an ice age is coming, shouldn’t we be pumping out CO2 to warm the planet up, since we are capable of making a difference? :/
Laz would.
So would I...
Am I on the right thread?

Of Course this scientist would be one to cuddle with on a cold winters night any time!
More B.S. from the followers of the Al Gore.
Hey, what’s wrong with Russian brides?
We’ll be having to crank up those old gasoline engines, trying to keep warm.
By the way, farmers can grow a lot more crops in warm climates than in cold climates. Example: Iowa v. Alaska. Food will be a problem.
You go, girl! And I mean that as a compliment to her intelligence. Honest.
I think outside of the heavy drinking and tempers not much.
that's quite awhile..I mean..they might have to get new actors to do the voices of the main characters..
How hard do we have to flog ourselves to prevent it happening this time?
You know what this means, of course- Free Ice!! (Until the Gub’mint figures out a way to monetize and tax it).
