Valentina Zharkova is a Ukrainian solar researcher with a solid academic background, world-leading research, and numerous groundbreaking publications. She graduated with top honors in applied mathematics from Kiev National University (KNU) in 1975. Zharkova obtained her doctorate in astrophysics, specializing in "Radiative Transfer of Solar Prominences," at the Astronomical Main Observatory in Kiev in 1984. She worked as a researcher and lecturer at KNU for many years.

...In a 2019 interview with the award-winning Canadian journalist Stuart McNish on his program “Conversations That Matter,” Zharkova explained with great seriousness and caution that solar researchers have been observing signs since 2015 that solar activity is decreasing in a manner only seen during the Grand Solar Minimum, which last occurred during the Maunder Minimum 400 years ago. She cites NOAA, NASA, and other research organizations that have noted this trend in various ways but have not communicated it to the public. Zharkova asserts that the significantly reduced solar activity, which we have barely witnessed the beginning of, will inevitably lead to dramatic climate and weather changes as well as global cooling. She also specifies the time period she believes will be the worst:

“Between cycle 25 and 11 years of cycle 26 [the least active cycle], and between cycle 26 and 27, will be the coldest period on Earth, and we will feel it through a lack of vegetation.”

Therefore, starting after the active period during this cycle SC25, from the second half of this decade until the early 2050s, Earth will experience exceptional cold, extreme weather, earthquakes, and volcanic eruptions. She points to 2030 as the year when it will seriously begin, warning that the 2030s will be so cold that it will result in a severe food shortage. ......
