Most experts disagree with this statement
The Russian researcher of extraterrestrial civilizations and UFOs Dmitry Shakhov, as well as the futurist Denis Komov, stated that spots on the Sun are disappearing and in the future this will lead to the cooling of the star and the disappearance of life on Earth. This is reported by a number of media outlets.
As uf.ru reports, the futurologist claims that after the sun cools down, the Earth will retain some of its heat for some time due to internal energy sources, but plants will gradually disappear on it, and then other forms of life.
It is worth noting that the overwhelming majority of professional astrophysicists describe the future of our star in a completely different way - over the next billions of years, it will become larger and hotter until it becomes a red giant that will either swallow the Earth or make it uninhabitable. This can happen, however, only in the very distant future.
There are almost no spots on the Sun now, however, in fact, this hardly indicates the imminent end of the world - a decrease in the number of spots is quite typical for the current stage of the eleven-year solar activity cycle. Nevertheless, some experts suggest that in the foreseeable future the Earth will indeed face a "mini-ice age" - according to them, from 2030 to 2040 there will be a minimum of solar activity, comparable to the so-called Maunder Minimum - a period of long-term decrease in the number of sunspots. which ended three years ago and was marked by a cold snap. It is worth noting that even specialists expecting a "mini-ice age" are not inclined to consider global warming a myth.
By the way, the Sun today is even hotter than billions of years ago. However, as shown by a recent study by scientists from the University of Montana, this was "compensated" by the fact that the luminary was then about three percent larger than it is today.
