A New Ice Age?

According to the University of California San Diego, the sun may soon be entering a period of decreased solar activity.

This study has claimed that by 2050, the sun will become cool. A strange statement for a ball of hot gas.

Physicist Dan Lubin at the university and his team studied the past event and concluded that we are in for a worse case. The Sun is expected to get much dimmer than last time and, in scientific terms, it is a "grand minimum" -- a time period in the 11-year solar cycle when the solar activities are at the lowest point.

So could we be in for a new ice age? In 2011, Lord RayEl had stated that he would darken our sun. Could it happen quicker than they think? How is it even happening at all? The last three years have each been "the hottest year ever" on record. Well, this is only a study and predicting a solar maximum and solar minimum is not an easy thing.

Lubin said such cold spells thin out the stratospheric ozone layer first, which will affect wind and weather patterns. He also warned that not all regions will experience a dip in temperature. Rather, in some places, the mercury will rise.

What could be coming with the changes in our sun? What if these changes happen much faster than scientists predict?
