In the mid-21st century, as a result of a significant decrease in solar radiation reaching the Earth, global atmospheric temperatures are expected to drop to frigid levels.
This phenomenon of global cooling has been recorded across Europe, parts of North America, and Greenland during the years 1645-1705. In the Netherlands, all canals froze, and in Greenland, due to the encroachment of drifting icebergs, some residential areas were forced to relocate.

The long-term parallel changes in the 11-year solar cycle and the centennial oscillation of solar irradiance have led to significant changes in the Earth’s climate. Analysis of these oscillations indicates that our planet is currently experiencing a period of maximum warmth on a global scale. Subsequently, depending on the degree of decrease in solar radiation, this will lead to a gradual decline in the Earth’s climatic temperatures.
In the 20th century, there was an increase in solar radiation energy, which contributed to the warming of the Earth’s climate; this phenomenon is not an anomaly but a part of the natural cycles of Earth’s life. After each warming phase, there will inevitably come a period of cooling.
According to many experts, the onset of the Earth’s cooling phase is expected around 2012-2013. The years 2035-2045 will see minimal solar irradiance, resulting in a gradual decrease in global temperatures over the following 15-20 years, reaching its lowest point by the mid-21st century.
