Scientist says Earth could soon face new Ice Age
The concentration of carbon dioxide in the Earth's atmosphere has
risen more than 4% in the past decade, but global warming has
practically stopped. It confirms the theory of "solar" impact on
changes in the Earth's climate.

Temperatures on Earth have stabilized in the past decade, and the
planet should brace itself for a new Ice Age rather than global
warming, a Russian scientist said in an interview with RIA Novosti
Tuesday.
"Russian and foreign research data confirm that global temperatures in
2007 were practically similar to those in 2006, and, in general,
identical to 1998-2006 temperatures, which, basically, means that the
Earth passed the peak of global warming in 1998-2005," said Khabibullo
Abdusamatov, head of a space research lab at the Pulkovo observatory
in St. Petersburg.
According to the scientist, the concentration of carbon dioxide in the
Earth's atmosphere has risen more than 4% in the past decade, but
global warming has practically stopped. It confirms the theory of
"solar" impact on changes in the Earth's climate, because the amount
of solar energy reaching the planet has drastically decreased during
the same period, the scientist said.
Had global temperatures directly responded to concentrations of
"greenhouse" gases in the atmosphere, they would have risen by at
least 0.1 Celsius in the past ten years, however, it never happened,
he said.
"A year ago, many meteorologists predicted that higher levels of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would make the year 2007 the hottest
in the last decade, but, fortunately, these predictions did not become
reality," Abdusamatov said.
He also said that in 2008, global temperatures would drop slightly,
rather than rise, due to unprecedentedly low solar radiation in the
past 30 years, and would continue decreasing even if industrial
emissions of carbon dioxide reach record levels.
By 2041, solar activity will reach its minimum according to a 200-year
cycle, and a deep cooling period will hit the Earth approximately in
2055-2060. It will last for about 45-65 years, the scientist added.
"By the mid-21st century the planet will face another Little Ice Age,
similar to the Maunder Minimum, because the amount of solar radiation
hitting the Earth has been constantly decreasing since the 1990s and
will reach its minimum approximately in 2041," he said.
