13 lip 2015 · A mini ice age could hit the Earth in the 2030s, the first such event to occur since the early 1700s. New mathematical models of the Sun's solar cycle developed at Northumbria University...
19 wrz 2022 · During the Little Ice Age, volcanic activity blocked solar radiation from reaching the Earth, which, combined with naturally reduced solar activity, the build-up of solar-reflecting ice (the albedo effect), and other potential factors, all conspired to cool the northern hemisphere.
13 lut 2020 · During a grand minimum, solar magnetism diminishes, sunspots appear infrequently and less ultraviolet radiation reaches Earth. The largest recent event -- the “Maunder Minimum,” which lasted from 1645 and 1715 — overlapped with the “Little Ice Age” (13 th to mid-19 th century).
15 lip 2015 · The reason behind Zharkova's claim of lowered temperatures, beginning around 2030, was that her team's new solar cycle model predicted that there would be a 60 percent drop in magnetic energy from the Sun. Looking at the magnetic wave patterns predicted by their model, the team predicted that there would be fewer sunspots over the next two ...
The issue centers around the paradox that global warming could instigate a new Little Ice Age in the northern hemisphere. Evidence for abrupt climate change is readily apparent in ice cores taken from Greenland and Antarctica.
27 gru 2017 · A mini ice age that would freeze major rivers could hit Britain in less than two decades, according to research from universities in the UK and Russia. A mathematical model of the Sun's magnetic activity suggests temperatures could start dropping here from 2021, with the potential for winter skating on the River Thames by 2030.
The Little Ice Age, by the anthropologist Brian Fagan of the University of California at Santa Barbara, describes the plight of European peasants from 1300 to 1850: famines, hypothermia, bread riots and the rise of despotic leaders brutalizing an increasingly dispirited peasantry.
