How would modern society handle an imminent, rather drastic change in climate, rather than a steady change of global temperatures, weather patterns, etc? |
11 year cycles are the sunspot cycles as a result of magnetic fields within the sun. So I think this means there will be no sunspots at all. Something similar to this happened about 400 years ago I think (you mentioned it too).
I am ready for cooler weather, but this could seriously change a lot of things if this really happens, especially with food chains and such. |
Well, the world didn't end during the last mini ice age so I think we'll survive this one, too.
I expect the temperature changes would be worst for the weather and for agriculture. A little something like that it making all kinds of trouble here where I live with the drought and people not being able to grow food like they expected to. If something like this, either more or less rain in places, affects the whole world then that could cause food prices to go up or possibly cause shortages, famine, and other bad stuff like that. |
I'm trying to reread the news to find out how long this mini Ice Age will last, because I don't know if it means we will have snow in the west coast or it'll still look the same as it is only with colder temperature.
