"This global cooling during the upcoming grand solar minimum 1 (2020–2053) can offset for three decades any signs of global warming and would require inter-government efforts to tackle problems with heat and food supplies for the whole population of the Earth"

Who is the author?
Are the affiliated with a university?
Did they get funding for this research?
Is the journal credible?

- freemint 6y agoThe author is Valentina Zharkov https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/z/professor-valentina-zharkova/ https://www.northumbria.ac.uk/about-us/our-staff/z/professor... . She has a record of predicting coming "Ice ages". Here a 2015 article about her by a German climate sceptic tracker https://klima-luegendetektor.de/tag/valentina-zharkova/ https://klima-luegendetektor.de/tag/valentina-zharkova/ (literally climate lie detector). According to their opinion, her research is fine, in that it predicts 10x effects of potential cooling of what is expected by consensus.
