Abstract: At around 2040–2050 we will be in a new major Solar Minimum. It is to be expected that we will then have a new “Little Ice Age†over the Arctic and NW Europe. The past Solar Minima were linked to a general speeding-up of the Earth's rate of rotation. This affected the surface currents and southward penetration of Arctic water in the North Atlantic causing “Little Ice Ages†over northwestern Europe and the Arctic.

Keywords: Arctic environment by 2040–2050; next Solar Minimum; return to Little Ice Age conditions (search for similar items in EconPapers)
