Possibly heralding a new mini-Ice Age;The Sun's slowdown is really leaving scientists baffled

Possibly heralding a new mini-Ice Age after scientists warned of an alarming fall in the performance power of the Sun.

Richard Harrison, space physicist said he had not seen anything like it in his 30 year career, and there are fears the temperatures could drop so low the Thames might freeze over.

"If you want to go back to see when the Sun was this inactive... you've got to go back about 100 years," he said.

Prof Lockwood says there was a significant chance that the Sun could become increasingly quiet.That era of solar inactivity coincided with bitterly cold winters to Europe, where the Baltic Sea and London's River Thames froze over. Conditions were so harsh that some described it as a mini-Ice Age.
