"Incredibly, British Summer Time officially starts tomorrow
but millions of brassed off Brits pining for warmth will have to endure
freezing temperatures and biting winds until May.The misery will continue with
daytime temperatures struggling to reach a bracing 5C (41F). The only ray of
sunshine, forecasters said, is that it will stay dry.
As if the outlook wasn’t bleak enough already,
meteorologists believe the shivering start to 2013 has been the coldest in more
than 200 years.
More worryingly, the combination of sub-zero temperatures
and heavy snow experienced across much of the country recently could be the
prelude to a new Ice Age that will begin next year and last for 200 years.
Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov, of the St
Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, painted the Doomsday scenario
saying the recent inclement weather simply proved we were heading towards a
frozen planet.
Dr Abdussamatov believes Earth was on an “unavoidable
advance towards a deep temperature drop”. The last big freeze, known as the
Little Ice Age, was between 1650 and 1850.
Today he said: “The last global decrease of temperature (the
most cold phase of the Little Ice Age) was observed in Europe, North America
and Greenland.
“All channels in the Netherlands were frozen, glaciers were
on the advance in Greenland and people were forced to leave their settlements,
inhabited for several centuries.
“The Thames river in London and Seine in Paris were frozen
over every year. Humanity has always been prospering during the warm periods
and suffering during the cold ones. The climate has never been and will never
be stable.”
