  7.  @craigduddy8903  If Valentina Zharkova is not qualified to speak on the subject, then neither are we nor Jon Austin (the author of the article). We would have to rely on what climate scientists say. But what do they say? The article begins with: “SCIENTISTS claim we are in for a decade-long freeze as the sun slows down solar activity by up to 60 per cent.” Who are the “SCIENTISTS” that makes this claim? Valentina Zharkova is the only scientist mentioned and quoted in the article, and there is no reference to any scientific paper or anything at all. If a climate scientist actually made that claim, why would the author not cite or quote them? I seem to have managed to find the relevant paper: https://iopscience.iop.org/article/10.1088/0004-637X/795/1/46 So it indeed seems like Valentina Zharkova is the main person in terms of this article. Why would anyone think anything else? The most logical conclusion is that the “we are in for a decade-long freeze”-claim is made by the author. A person who is not qualified to make such claim. He is not a scientist and certainly not a climate scientist. EDIT: Not sure what you think of iflscience.com, but they report that they spoke to Valentina Zharkova and wrote (among other things) this about it: She announced the findings from her team's research on solar activity last week at the Royal Astronomical Society. She noted that her team didn't realize how much of an impact their research would have on the media, and that it was journalists (including ourselves) who picked up on the possible impact on the climate.
