Little Ice Age imminent?

Britain faces FREEZING winters as slump in solar activity threatens 'little Ice Age'

BRITAIN could face colder than average winters with a plunge in solar activity threatening a new "little ice age" in the next few decades.

Climate experts warn the amount of light and warmth released by the sun is nosediving to levels "not seen for centuries".

They fear a repeat of the so-called 'Maunder Minimum' which triggered Arctic winter whiteouts and led to the River Thames freezing 300 years ago.

The Met Office-led study warns although the effect will be offset by recent global warming, Britain faces years of unusually cold winters.

A spokesman said: "A return to low solar activity not seen for centuries could increase the chances of cold winters in Europe and eastern parts of the United States but wouldn't halt global warming.

"Return of 'grand solar minimum' could affect European and eastern US winters."

Long episodes of low solar activity were seen during the Maunder Minimum between 1645 and 1715 and the 'Dalton Minimum' from 1790 to 1830.

Both periods coincided with colder-than-normal global temperatures earning the title from scientists of "Little Ice Age."

The latest study, published in Nature Communications, found reduced solar activity will lead to an overall cooling of the Earth of 0.1C.

A much bigger cooling effect is expected for Britain, northern Europe and North America where thermometers could drop by 0.8C.

Amanda Maycock, of the University of Cambridge and National Centre for Atmospheric Science, said: "It's important that we consider the potential impact of changes in UV output when looking at future climate."

Yes sunspot activity apparently has no effect on climate according to the Alarmists? It's the hand of man.... Roll Eyes

The point is that it (significant climate change) occurred naturally and ended naturally.

A cooling event would be much more devastating than warming.

The medieval warming event coincided with huge population explosions around the world. More land to cultivate and temperate weather meant stable crop productions.

The Scandinavians expanded into Greenland & North America but had to retreat due to the onset of the little ice age.

just ignore all evidence that you find inconvenient. It is the Green Way.

There is no evidence.
This thread is based on 'what if'.

That's why there is a question mark in the title.

I agree. We are set for a record cold few days up here in Brisso.

Weren't the poms having a heat wave recently with mid 30's temperatures ?

And India was definitely having one of the worst heatwaves with 50 degrees temperatures and 1000 people dying !!!

If it was a mini ice age then you would expect all temperatures across the globe to be dropping with none of these heatwaves !!

This so called mini ice age and heatwaves coexisting are just extreme weather events as postulated by the global warming science !!

adelaide is having its coldest winter in a long time and this weekend expected to go well below zero. record cold.

but that doesnt count right? because it is just 'weather' while the heatwaves are difference?

btw do your maths. 1000 indians dying of heat is the same ratio as one dying from heat in adelaide - which happens every 45 degree day.
