Sounds like some scientists Al Gore followers have been let loose from the loony bin... and wrote this pseudo science press release.

Earth heading for 'mini ice age' within 15 years

The earth is 15 years from a "mini ice-age" that will cause bitterly cold winters during which rivers such as the Thames freeze over, scientists have predicted.

Solar researchers at the University of Northumbria have created a new model of the sun's activity which they claim produces "unprecedentedly accurate predictions".

They said fluid movements within the sun, which are thought to create 11-year cycles in the weather, will converge in such a way that temperatures will fall dramatically in the 2030s.

Solar activity will fall by 60 per cent as two waves of fluid "effectively cancel each other out", according to Prof Valentina Zharkova.

In the UNited States we have recently seen the Hudson River (New York) freeze and the Great Lakes as well.

Not to derail the thread, but that page also had a link to an interesting article about a hole in Siberia.

Sinkholes are natural phenomenon...well established by now by science!

maybe if you look enough, you would find a link to "Royal Astronomical Society" on the article...if not, here is a link to the text: http://www.ras.org.uk/news-and-press/2680-irregular-heartbeat-of-the-sun-driven-by-double-dynamo

THE ORIGINAL ARTICLE HAS NOW BEEN PROVEN AS FALSE!

Erroneous “mini-ice age imminent by 2030″ report exposed as not only untrue, but a complete reversal of the more likely outcome-warming!
The release of an article in the British press in recent days claiming a mini-ice age may be headed this way by 2030 caught some people’s eye. I’ve been sent copies of the article and asked about it. The article claims the sun is likely to cool and produce a mini-ice age by the 2030s. Not only isn’t this true, the more likely solution is just the opposite-global temps may be on the precipice of a temp surge not unlike that which occurred in the 1980s. I thought you might find this article on the “mini-ice age” claim of interest.


Media Reports The World Will Enter A ‘Mini Ice Age’ In The 2030’s. The Reverse Is True. wrote:
U.K. tabloids, conservative media, and others are (mis)reporting that the Earth will enter a “mini ice age” in the 2030s. In fact, not only is the story wrong, the reverse is actually true.

The Earth is headed toward an imminent speed-up in global warming, as many recent studies have made clear, like this June study by NOAA. Indeed, a March study, entitled “Near-term acceleration in the rate of temperature change,” makes clear that a stunning acceleration in the rate of global warming is around the corner — with Arctic warming rising 1°F per decade by the 2020s!
