SCIENTISTS claim we are in for a decade-long freeze as the sun slows down solar activity by up to 60 per cent.

A team of European researchers have unveiled a scientific model showing that the Earth is likely to experience a “mini ice age” from 2030 to 2040 as a result of decreased solar activity.
Their findings will infuriate environmental campaigners who argue by 2030 we could be facing increased sea levels and flooding due to glacial melt at the poles.
However, at the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, Northumbria University professor Valentina Zharkova said fluctuations an 11-year cycle of solar activity the sun goes through would be responsible for a freeze, the like of which has not been experienced since the 1600s.
From 1645 to 1715 global temperatures dropped due to low solar activity so much that the planet experienced a 70-year ice age known as Maunder Minimum which saw the River Thames in London completely frozen.
Ok now who do u believe the warming or the cooling side of the debate
Bottom line is that man has no control over Mother Nature.
Period.
End of story.
These idiot “World Leaders” are wasting time money and energy in Paris…valuable resources that could be properly put to use in the real world providing great economic benefit and raising millions out of poverty.
Morons.
I have not read the solar activity study so can’t comment on the exact science here. But it’s important to remember that our temperatures and climate are a result of a complex interaction of many inputs. We could easily have warming over the long term due to greenhouse gases while having short term cooling due to solar cycles or volcanoes. They are not inconsistent with each other, and are not mutually exclusive. Moreover, CO2 emissions have impacts beyond just global warming. Look up ocean acidification for example.
