Britain faces FREEZING winters as slump in solar activity threatens 'little Ice Age'

Climate experts warn the amount of light and warmth released by the sun is nosediving to levels "not seen for centuries".

They fear a repeat of the so-called 'Maunder Minimum' which triggered Arctic winter whiteouts and led to the River Thames freezing 300 years ago.

The Met Office-led study warns although the effect will be offset by recent global warming, Britain faces years of unusually cold winters.

A spokesman said: "A return to low solar activity not seen for centuries could increase the chances of cold winters in Europe and eastern parts of the United States but wouldn't halt global warming.

"Return of 'grand solar minimum' could affect European and eastern US winters."

Aren't we seeing this already?

I think the last 4 winters have been pretty brutal for England.

[Yo-Yo]

Oh boy, more ice skating on the Thames!

[NormsRevenge]

I’ve never skated under London Bridge.. Cool.

[AppyPappy]

They have been pretty brutal here.

[GreyFriar]

Yes, but NASA and NOAA “scientists” keep changing the data to show the opposite.

OMG! Global Warming strikes again. Can’t you see that the freezing of Great Britain is proof the world is warming and reaching dangerous levels. {sarc}

Of course not. The only thing that would prevent global warming would be all the LIPs (Low-info People) developing some common sense.

That’s why I kept my old clunky skates from my yout’?!?

One last spin .. and a broken ankle on the ponds of the Eiffel Tower.

I bet nuke power plants will come in real handy and none to soon..

Now CO2 emissions will be seen as a form of neo-colonialism: Increased CO2 output may help the northern imperialistic nations stay warm, but meanwhile it will make the southern colonial countries hotter.

I guess it's time to check our privilege.

Odds are nobody ever again will skate under London Bridge, no matter how cold it gets in England.

[jmacusa]

I say, sounds jolly pulse throbbing, wot?

[piasa]

Sheesh, don’t give them any ideas...

[Daveinyork]

Oh No. Get out and run your SUV’s. We need to warm this place up.

When you consider that the London Bridge is in Lake Havasu City, Arizona I’d say you are right! ;-)

The Schiller Institute is a Lyndon LaRouche organization.

So do you supposed Lyndon LaRouche had the old world masters fate the paintings?
