Why is the Earth returning to the ice age a good news?

According to warnings from recent scientists, in the coming years, the Earth will officially enter a period of sharp decline in temperature - can be considered

More precisely, the mini ice age, due to the Sun's activity at the two hemispheres cancel each other out. However, experts believe that the phenomenon may be good news.

According to a recent warning from scientists, in the coming years, the Earth will officially enter a period of sharp decline in temperature - which can be considered. Accordingly, the temperature will begin to decrease from 2021, lasting at least 2030.

The reason for this phenomenon is due to the solar cycle . According to experts, during the period of 2020 to 2030, the Sun's operating cycles will self-destruct each other, forming a power effect on the two layers of the Sun: 1 surface layer, and one deep layer more, convection in the Sun.

The Sun's activity will decline for many years to come.

As a result, the Sun's activity will weaken. In the past, the closest time the Earth witnessed a similar phenomenon was in the period 1645 - 1715. History recorded it as "Maunder minimum" , and the temperature could be so cold that the Thames River in London freezes.

The research leader is Professor Valentina Zharkova of Northumbria University (United Kingdom). She was the one who built the previous solar wave prediction system. It is also a tool to help her give this warning.

Why is that good news?

Zharkova notes that this "mini ice age" may not really be an ice age, as global warming is at a critical level. However, it is therefore that she believes that this phenomenon can be a great opportunity for the Earth, in the work of preventing climate change.

"I hope that the phenomenon of Maunder minimum will contribute to preventing global warming, giving us another 30 years to solve the problems involved" - Zharkova shared.

As predicted, the Sun's activity will decrease by up to 60% from the 2030s - exactly like what happened in the mini ice age in 1645.

But it can help people "buy time", to restore the consequences of.

"At the 26th cycle (taking place at 2030-2040), the Sun wave will peak at two opposite hemispheres, and they will cancel each other out, it will create a Maunder minimum - or mini ice age phenomenon. ".

The study is published in the scientific journal Astronomy & Geophysics.
