Scientists: Earth is threatened by an ice age

The group of domestic climate scientists together with the staff from England conducted a large-scale study, the results of which do not look very optimistic. Scientists are convinced that after 15 years on the Earth will begin a new ice age.

In 2030-2040 years our planet will see a huge cold snap, for example, the river Seine and the Thames covered with ice climatologists are convinced. Version researchers, this period is almost completely repeat 1645-1715 years, when the terrain of modern Europe were recorded extreme cold.

The cooling astrologers were associated with a dramatic decrease of sunspots. At the moment, considering opinion of a group of Russian and British scientists, the sun is observed a similar pattern, and little ice age could happen again.

Adoption professionals at the conference of the Royal astronomical society in the town of Llandudno (Wales) has caused heated debates in the scientific community. The last few years, it is considered that the main problem of the Earth is considered global warming. However it is being replaced by large-scale cooling in the next 15 years, experts say.

According to a statement by one of the authors of the sensational work, the employee of Institute of nuclear physics, Lomonosov Moscow state University, candidate of physical and mathematical Sciences Elena Popova, managed to find a new aspect of Solar activity. This is not the number of spots on it, and the change in the magnetic field of the star. Not to mention the fact that scientists were able to explain why and how the lights change activity, in consequence of which causes such phenomena as the lows of Maunder. The result became clearer picture of the behavior of the Sun, as in the distant past and future, informs "the Russian newspaper".

Designed by professionals, the model has passed the test of historical data starting from the year 1200 of our era. And then research workers were monitoring the activity of the Sun is almost up to 3200 years. Version Popova, little ice age will start in 2030-2040, and will last up to 30 years. Most likely, the consequences will not be as strong as in the previous minimum. This will begin a new period of activity of the Sun.
