AS Britain shivers through the coldest Easter ever, experts say we could be heading for a new Ice Age.
Their frosty prediction comes as the Met Office has warned that temperatures will remain up to 10C below average until about April 20 – not just the UK, but in the rest of the world as well.
Experts have declared the start of 2013 the coldest for 208 years, and they reckon it could become a whole lot colder.
Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov from the St Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory claimed it is proof we are heading for a “mini Ice Age”.
He said: “We are now on an unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop.” According to Dr Abdussamatov, the Earth cools and warms in 200-year cycles.
The last big freeze, known as the Little Ice Age, ended in 1805.
And he claims the next freezing period for the Earth will begin next year.
