Ice Core Analysis Shows Fastest Decline in Solar Activity for 10,000 Years
• The Daily SheepleAt this point in the solar cycle the sun should be a hive of activity, popping off flares and dotted with sunspots.
Professor Mike Lockwood, a space environment physicist at Reading
University UK has studied ice cores going back tens of thousands of
years. He thinks there’s a very good chance that the Sun is heading for
an extremely quiet period. Speaking to the BBC he said that it was
“…an
unusually rapid decline. It’s a very active research topic at the
present time, but we do think there is a mechanism in place where we
should expect more cold winters when solar activity is low.”
