| A return to low solar activity not seen for centuries could increase the chances of cold winters in Europe and eastern parts of the United States but wouldn't halt global warming, according to new research. Some solar physicists believe there's an increased risk that we're heading towards the lower end of a cycle - last seen during the so-called 'Maunder Minimum' which ended 300 years ago. This coincided with colder winters in the UK & Europe, with 'frost fairs' held numerous times on a frozen River Thames. |
