Mini Ice Age Coming – Simple Explanation
I love simplicity. It beats math-heavy arguments, or singular ideas that need an entire book to try and convince you. Check this out for a simple explanation for why you could/should be preparing for the worst:
Credentials:
Philip Norton, a member of Lincoln Astronomical Society, forecast the current harsh winter conditions way back in the 1980s. He also correctly forecast the weather this time around and last winter.
Simple theory:
When there are lots of sunspots, there are fewer clouds on Earth. If there is a lack of sunspot activity, the Earth gets cloudy, lowering temperatures.
Prediction:
“This winter is mild compared to those of the 2020s.”
“The sunspot activity is roughly following a 400-year trend.
“I predicted the last sunspot cycle would be the most active for a long time and it was.
“This would be followed by a long, deep solar minimum. We are just getting out of this.
“The next sunspot cycle, which has just started, would be only half as active as the last.
“We then enter a period without sunspots for decades, starting in about 2020.”
