“Earth may
be entering a new Little Ice Age.”
“In the
last two years, the scientific community’s openness to examining the role of
the Sun in climate change – as opposed to the role of man – has exploded,” says
this article by Lawrence Soloman.
With solar
activity falling faster than at any time in the last 10,000 years, “scientists
are now rediscovering earlier works by scientists at the Danish National Space
Center who as early as the 1990s published peer-reviewed articles demonstrating
the Sun’s role in climate change. And by scientists at the Russian Academy of
Sciences’ Pulkovo Observatory, whose predictions in the last decade that global
cooling would start in this decade are looking especially prescient.”
“In the
1960s and 1970s, a growing scientific consensus held that the Earth was
entering a period of global cooling akin to the Little Ice Age,” says Solomon.
“Now an
increasing number of scientists are swinging back to that thinking. ‘The global
cooling hypothesis may have been right after all, they say. Earth may be
entering a new Little Ice Age.’”
