According to recent research presented at the National Astronomy Meeting there is a possibility that the northern-hemisphere could see a mini ice-age by 2025. If it does happen it means that countries, including the UK and USA, face some very cold and harsh winters. Taking a proactive approach and preparing now means that you can become more self-reliant in regards to energy, heat and food.
Making the changes to lifestyles sooner rather than later, means that you will not only be prepared if the mini ice-age does occur, it also means that you can save money, be more energy efficient and keep healthy.
By investing in solar panels, wind turbines or ground source heat pumps you can reduce your reliance on the National Grid. Ensuring that your home has loft, wall, floor, pipe and water tank insulation can help to keep your home warmer, and for many these investments can help reduce heating and fuel bills irrespective of the mini ice-age happening.
