ddstory.livejournal.com'Mini ice age' coming in next fifteen years, new model of the Sun's cycle shows
"We are now able to predict solar cycles with far greater accuracy than ever before thanks to a new model which shows irregularities in the sun’s 11-year heartbeat. The model shows that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent between 2030 and 2040 causing a "mini ice age". The conditions predicted have not been experienced since the last "mini ice age" which lasted from 1645 to 1715, called the Maunder Minimum."
Interesting. A lot has been written about the turbulent times of the 17th century, and there's been the argument that it was all largely due to climate change. During that time, Europe and North America had some very harsh winters, according to the scientific theory, caused by an abnormal lack of sunspots.
