Due to changing solar activity, the Earth is heading into a new Little Ice Age, according to Northumbria University astrophysicist Prof. Valentina Zharkova, Newcastle, Great Britain. [emphasis, links added]
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
This was reported by German online Report 24 last week.
“This is due to the changing solar activity, she explains. Only uneducated people could call for a reduction in carbon dioxide in the atmosphere,” according to Report 24 here.
As the media is full of reports about record temperatures, the elevated readings likely have a lot to do with thermometers being placed increasingly in urban heat-absorbing areas. The recent warming has very little to do with carbon dioxide.
“CO2 is not our enemy,” says Professor Zharkova, who was born and educated in Ukraine.
“We … have a CO2 deficiency in the world, and it is three to four times lower than the plants would like,” says Zharkova. In geological terms, over the last 140 million years, CO2 in the atmosphere has been at near-record low levels.
“140 million years ago, it was estimated at 2,500 ppm, or about six times higher. And this also meant a greener and more biodiverse world, according to the professor,” writes Report 24.
“We don’t need to remove CO2 because we would need more of it. It’s food for plants to produce oxygen for us. The people who say CO2 is bad are obviously not very good at universities or wherever they study.
“Only uneducated people can come up with such absurd talk that CO2 should be removed from the air,” Professor Zharkova tells Report 24.
Scharkova estimates the Earth’s average temperature will fall by one degree Celsius over the next 30 years and not rise. She says that the sun’s lower solar activity will lead to cooling.
Report 24 quotes Zharkova:
“I only feel sympathy for the people who have invested in solar systems,” says the professor. “During the Maunder Minimum, there were years when there was no summer at all – there was a brief spring, then fall, then winter again. And if there’s snow on your solar panels or the sky is cloudy, they’re useless.”
“Whatever we do on Earth, we can’t change the orbit of the sun and the big planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune and Uranus,” she explains. “There’s nothing we can do about it.”

If CO2 is bad for the planet Earth why do the scientists say that they need to introduce CO2 to re-engineer the planet MARS?
The Russian woman is a loser who has been making the same prediction since 2015. Other Russian astrophysicists have been calling for global n for about 20 years. Seems that all of them have been wrong. NoTricksZone is a sucker for CO2 Does Nothing Nutters and their “studies”.
That’s why I am ignoring the website.
I didn’t realize that Ukraine is part of Russia so thanks for showing your ignorance of not just human-induced climate change (it ain’t happening) along with your geography. Or are you a Putin Puppet?
Let me over 90% of the articles here are worth reading and as a result this is the best UK website for climate and energy news.
Articles here are frequently included on my daily recommended climate and energy reading list, on a blog with over 750,000 page views.
Keep up the good work and the very easy to read formatting

NET ZERO FOLLY
As most self respecting scientists know, man-made carbon dioxide has virtually no effect on the climate. It is a good gas essential to animals and plant life. Provided dirty emissions are cleaned up, we should be using our substantial store of fossil fuels while we develop a mix of alternatives including nuclear power to generate energy. There is no climate crisis, it has always changed and we have always adapted to it. In the Ordovician ice age atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were 4000 ppm and have been 15 times higher than now. There was no industrial revolution then to be the cause . The present quantity of man-made carbon dioxide is insignificant compared with water vapour or clouds which comprise a vast majority of green-house gases. We have no control over the climate. Statistically we are overdue a period of cooling.The sun and our distance from it have by far the most effect. Most importantly, Net Zero (carbon dioxide) Policy will do nothing to change it. Countries like China, Russia and India are sensibly ignoring this and using their fossil fuels. They will be delighted at how the west is letting the power elites, mainstream media and government implement this Policy and the World Order Agenda 21, to needlessly impoverish us as well as causing great hardship and suffering.
Its going to get Colder for those Devest in Fossil Fuels Keep it in the Ground Useful Idiots very very cold indeed
If you wish to keep fossils fuels in the ground, then stop using everything you have that’s made from them…
