For the first time in 82 years! It rarely snows in Portland, USA, in April. Is the earth entering a "little glacier"?

In science, every time people talk about earth climate change, there will be two voices, one is global warming, and the other is that our earth is not warming, even in Cooling down, we may enter what we call the "Little Ice Age". Therefore, this makes many people feel very strange. Is our earth heating up or is it cooling down?

No, it snows in many places in the United States in April - especially in Portland, USA, which is extremely rare. Some people say that our statement of global warming is "wrong", and the earth It's in the middle of a big cooling down, so what's going on? Below we will discuss this issue: Is the earth undergoing a major cooling?

According to CNN news, record-breaking snowfall occurred in Portland, Oregon, which is located in the northwest United States. This snowfall is the first time that snowfall has been observed in April since local records began.

According to the National Weather Service, the last time there was measurable snowfall in this area, the most recent snowfall on record, was 82 years ago.

Therefore, this is the first snowfall in Portland in the United States in 82 years, and the intensity of the snowfall is not low. 2 inches (about 5 centimeters) of snowfall were recorded in the urban area. The snow thickness in some parts of Oregon will reach 30 to 60 centimeters, which is relatively rare. In addition, varying degrees of snowfall also occurred in Beaverton, Tigard-Tualatin and Vancouver.

Of course, this snowfall also brought a lot of impacts. Under the sudden snowfall, more than 77,000 users had power outages at their homes, including parts of West Burnside Street, Northwest Skyline Boulevard, and Southwest Capitol Highway. Sections and areas such as Northwest Cornell Road were closed and the road was disrupted. Therefore, it can also be seen that snow does not often fall in these areas, and problems arise when snow falls.

At the same time, according to climate monitoring conditions, snowfall in the area may continue as the temperature drops. Therefore, it may lead to more rare snowfall in the area. What is going on? Is it true that our earth is already cooling down, and that a "new phase" of climate change has occurred? Is the global warming generally believed by scientists really “false”? We'll know after looking at it.

Of course, the earth will cool down and enter the Little Ice Age. This is the most discussed "topic" under the theory of global warming. Indeed, many scientists or research institutions have said that the earth will enter a small glacier. Let’s take a simple example.

In 2015, People's Daily Online pointed out the news that "the sun will go dormant and the earth will enter the Little Ice Age in 2030", which aroused heated discussions among many people.

This is the conclusion from the "Royal Astronomical Society" meeting from the research team of Professor Valentina Zarkov that the earth has entered the small glacier based on changes in the solar activity cycle. This report clearly stated that the sun has a "double layer phenomenon."

That is the dynamo effect of the convection zone, one close to the surface of the sun and the other deep into the sun. Simulations show that when the electromagnetic waves at these two levels are completely mirror images of each other, it will destroy the stability of the sun. Sexuality appears to be in a state of almost completely canceling each other out.

This will trigger a weakening of solar activity, which is expected to decrease by 60% around 2030, when the earth will most likely enter the "Little Ice Age." Therefore, this study illustrates the possibility of a major cooling of the earth.

Could it be that the repeated rare snowfall in the United States really means that the earth is "cooling" and is about to enter a small glacier? First, let’s answer what this research team said about solar activity.

Zarkov's team found that this is a problem during Solar Cycle 25, which is expected to peak in 2022.

As we all know, we are now experiencing a new period of solar activity - a new activity cycle of 11 years. According to space monitoring conditions, this cycle entered in 2019, which is the initial stage of a new active period, and 2022 is when solar activity develops towards its maximum.

What does this mean? The sun's activity is on the rise, and this year dozens of Starlink satellites of the American Starlink Satellite Company were destroyed because of solar activity.

This round is expected to be the solar maximum period - solar activity is expected to peak around 2025. Zharkov’s research team believes that it is expected to peak in 2022. What does that mean?

There was a problem with the data they simulated. Therefore, it directly shows that there is something wrong with the solar activity cycle they mentioned. Then the possibility of the earth entering a small glacier in 2030 is small. However, according to the expected cycle, after 2025, it will develop towards a minimum period, which means that the activity areas will weaken. This is a trend.

Therefore, from this basic data comparison, we can see that it is unlikely that the sun will go dormant and the earth will enter the Little Ice Age in 2030. So, has the earth cooled significantly? Is it entering the Little Ice Age?

Judging from what we know, there is no possibility of a major cooling of the earth. The earth is still continuing to warm. This is a "certainty" statement given by data.

For example: In 2021, although La Ni?a changes weather patterns and suppresses global temperatures. However, the global average temperature in 2021 still reached 14.7 degrees Celsius, making it one of the hottest La Ni?a years and the sixth hottest year in history.

At the same time, according to reports from NOAA and NASA, the global average temperature in the past 10 years has been about 1.1 degrees Celsius higher than 140 years ago. American researchers believe that early signs also indicate that the earth’s heating is accelerating, and 2022 will rank among the ten hottest years. Therefore, the earth has not cooled significantly.

What about the rare snowfall in the United States? In fact, it is a normal climate change in the United States. A "cold vortex" appeared in the Gulf of Alaska in the United States and moved southward from Canada. As a result, this wave of cold air directly connected with the warm current in the United States, and formed a 50 mph wind. Strong winds inland.

This directly created conditions with sufficient water vapor, which triggered rare snowfall in many places in the United States. Of course, this could also be a sign of climate change, so maintaining the climate is key for the future.

Overall, climate complexity has emerged around the world, and the rare snowfall in the United States this time also shows that climate change has become urgent. Including last year, rare high temperatures occurred in the United States, which was caused by climate change.

This year, it can be said that the high temperature has not yet arrived in the United States, and there has been rare snowfall, which also illustrates the complexity of the climate. This is the general situation,

Of course, I would like to emphasize again, The warming of the earth is still happening, and there has not been a significant cooling. It is about to enter the Little Ice Age, so don't misunderstand it.
