Hoax – Video claims the world will undergo a “mini ice age,” with a three-month peak where temperatures will reach -75°C, affecting regions including Brazil and neighboring countries.
Analysis
A video circulating on social media raises an alarming alert: the world is about to face a “mini ice age” with extreme temperatures, including as low as -75°C. According to the author, this forecast stems from “channeled information” mixing scientific data with spirituality and esotericism.
The content also mentions real historical events, such as the “Maunder Minimum,” in an attempt to lend credibility to the narrative. That phenomenon, which occurred in the 17th and 18th centuries, was a period of low solar activity. The confusion between science, alarmism, and esoteric speculation raises doubts that must be analyzed based on meteorological data and reliable sources.
there will be cooling, it will be for a period, we don’t know yet, but it won’t be 20 years, not that much, 3 months will be the peak, the peak of this Mini Ice Age will last 3 months, but during this peak they passed us the information that we will have temperatures down to minus 75 degrees Celsius, centigrade,
but in the central-western region of Brazil, Bolivia, part of Bolivia, part of Paraguay, southern Venezuela, southern Colombia, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, it will be at most minus 25 degrees Celsius. You can study the Maunder Minimum, which was a Mini Ice Age, that happened around the year 1300 and something, and it’s not like those Hollywood scenarios with 6 meters of snow, 10 meters, that craziness—it’s not really like that.
Fact-check
The content has caused concern due to its alarmist language, but it doesn’t align with scientific knowledge. Let’s fact-check the following: 1) Is there a forecast for a mini ice age with extreme temperatures soon? 2) Is it possible to reach -75°C in any habitable region due to a mini ice age? 3) Is global warming a lie?
Is there a forecast for a mini ice age with extreme temperatures soon?
There is no scientific forecast suggesting that the world, or Brazil, will go through a mini ice age in the coming months. NASA has already debunked similar rumors, clarifying that the current low solar activity phase is not enough to cause a new ice age. Furthermore, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) continues to reinforce that the planet is warming, not cooling.
Is it possible to reach -75°C in any habitable region due to a mini ice age?
Absolutely not. Temperatures of -75°C are only recorded in extremely cold places on Earth, such as the Vostok research station in Antarctica. Even during historic cold waves, the claim of -75°C is completely detached from the climate reality of the region.
Is global warming a lie?
Definitely not. The existence of global warming is extensively proven through scientific studies, empirical observations, and reports from institutions like the IPCC and NASA. Rising global average temperatures, sea level rise, and glacier melt are proven and documented effects. The video narrative attempts to discredit this scientific consensus using a sensationalist theory without any factual basis.
Conclusion
The video spreading the forecast of a “mini ice age” with temperatures reaching -75°C in Brazil mixes pseudoscience and misinformation. There is no scientific basis to support the prediction of a new ice age in 2025, let alone with such extreme temperatures in tropical regions. The theory completely ignores consolidated knowledge about global warming and historical climate records.
