***This has
nothing to do with human impact on climate change, but more so the
activity of the sun and how solar cycles impact our climate as well.
It’s based on a mathematical model that shows the sun might “quiet” down
in the coming years thus impacting our climate as well.
This is not a
climate change denial article, please read it before commenting.
A few months ago, NASA published a study
showing that Antarctica is actually gaining more ice than it is losing.
They made the announcement after using satellites to examine the
heights of the region’s ice sheet. The findings contradict the
prevailing theory that Antarctica has actually been shrinking,
however. The paper is titled “Mass gains of the Antarctic ice sheet exceed losses” and was published in the Journal of Glaciology.
The authors of this study are from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center,
and the cause of this ice gain isn’t entirely known, but a number of
theories are mentioned in the paper. It is worth mentioning,
however that NASA was blasted by dozens of their own scientists
regarding their global warming stance, even though a number of the
world’s top scientists have questioned just how much an impact
greenhouse gases have on climate change. You can read more about that here. (source)
Perhaps there are other factors contributing to climate change?
There are many theories as to why this
is so, and one of them includes the effects of supposed global warming,
but not everyone agrees. That’s a completely separate topic, however,
and you can learn more about it in the articles linked at the end of
this article.
When it comes to climate change, a lot
of emphasis is put on human activity, and rightfully so, as our ways
here need to change. Perhaps in our fervour to discover our own
culpability in this shift, however, we missed a few things along the
way? What about the natural cycles of climate change Earth experiences,
and has experienced? It’s a scientific fact that fluctuations in the
solar cycle impact earth’s global temperature, as do other massive
bodies flying in and around our solar system.
The most recent research to examine this
topic comes from the National Astronomy Meeting in Wales, where
Valentina Zharkova, a mathematics professor from Northumbria University
(UK), presented a model that can predict what solar cycles will look
like far more accurately than was previously possible. She states that
the model can predict their influence with an accuracy of 97 percent,
and says it is showing that Earth is heading for a “mini ice age” in
approximately fifteen years.
According to the Royal Astronomical Society (RAS):
A new model
of the Sun’s solar cycle is producing unprecedentedly accurate
predictions of irregularities within the Sun’s 11-year heartbeat. The
model draws on dynamo effects in two layers of the Sun, one close to the
surface and one deep within its convection zone. Predictions from the
model suggest that solar activity will fall by 60 per cent during the
2030s to conditions last seen during the ‘mini ice age’ that began in
1645. (source)
Zharkova and her team came up with the
model using a method called “principal component analysis” of the
magnetic field observations, from the Wilcox Solar Observatory in
California. Looking forward to the next few solar cycles, her model
predicts that from 2030 to 2040 there will be cause for a significant
reduction in solar activity, which again, will lead to a mini ice age.
According to Zharkova:
In cycle 26,
the two waves exactly mirror each other – peaking at the same time but
in opposite hemispheres of the Sun. Their interaction will be
disruptive, or they will nearly cancel each other. We predict that this
will lead to the properties of a “Maunder minimum.” Effectively,
when the waves are approximately in phase, they can show strong
interaction, or resonance, and we have strong solar activity. When they
are out of phase, we have solar minimums. When there is full phase
separation, we have the conditions last seen during the Maunder minimum,
370 years ago. (source)
Pretty interesting to think about it,
isn’t it? With so much attention being paid to the warming of our
planet, it would be quite a shocker to suddenly enter into an ice age.
Again, this has nothing to due with
human impact on climate change, more so the activity of the sun and how
solar cycles impact our climate as well. This is not a climate change
denial article. It’s basically bringing up the fact that there are more
factors to consider that play a role in climate change.What are your thoughts? Please feel free to share in the comments section below.
