The Head of Space Research Laboratory at the Pulkovo Observatory of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg, Dr. Habibullo Abdussamatov, announced the new Little Ice Age started at the end of 2015.
According to the new research, our Sun has been in the declining phase of the quasi-bicentennial variation in total solar irradiance (TSI) since 1990. At the same time, the Earth has absorbed a lower amount of TSI, which has been left uncompensated by the planet’s longwave radiation into space, due to the thermal inertia of the oceans.
