Generally speaking, the sun provides the energy budget that sustains life on earth. However, at present and in the coming decades+ the conditions on the sun are abnormal due to the presence of very weak solar cycles particularly the present cycle number 24. Global warming has ended and we are in an era of global cooling that might end up as an ice age. Ice storms that prevailed in Europe in the last few years are alerting. Ice storms have even extended to the Middle East. Egypt and Libya have experienced ice storms and what is astonishing are photos of camels walking on ice in northern Arabia. In case we experience ice age in Europe and Northern America, the Sahara and Arabia will experience wet epoch. Arabia will turn into gardens and forests like it used to be in the old days as evident by the presence petroleum. This scientific expectation is in coherence with the prophet Mohamed saying: "The last hour will not arise before the land of the Arabia returns meadows and rivers." This cooling in Europe and America will cause the destruction of crops and famines. The change from mild weather into ice age is usually abrupt within few years. The interval between successive ice ages is about 11500 years which have almost passed thus a new ice age is due in time. It would be initiated by reduced solar energy output. Another alert is made of solar induced very strong earthquakes worldwide that can be of 7th magnitude. 2006 witnessed such strong earthquakes that were initiated by solar corpuscular streams emanated from abnormal coronal holes in the corona of cycle 24. Such streams caused excessive ionosphere electric currents that induced telluric electric currents in the ground leading to motion of earth's plates thus causing strong earthquakes worldwide. Alert is also made of Tsunamis. The reduced strength of the earth's magnetic field and The rapid motion of the southern magnetic pole from Canada to Siberia made NASA to predict the near reversal of the direction of spin of the earth resulting in rising of the sun from the west. This will lead to the loss of the earth of its protective magnetosphere. Coronal mass ejections will thus hit satellites and power stations. No electric power will be produced and hence no oil production. Scientists predict we will return to the ice age.
Shahinaz Yousef’s has succeeded in linking solar forcing to different environmental responses. Once the solar stimuli is known one can predict the likely terrestrial responses in advance. One of the very important topics she has discovered is solar induced climate changes due to weak solar magnetic cycles. A single weak follow the maximum of the 80-120 years Wolf-Gleissberg (WG) cycles. They do also occur in series of 3-4 cycles at the bottom of WG cycles and last for more than 30 years. Among their terrestrial responses are; changes in the general wind circulation via effect on the North Atlantic Oscillations and the Southern Oscillations, sudden rise or falls of lakes and closed seas at various locations, closure ozone hole, invasion of cosmic rays to the earth, cooling of the earth, increased flood-drought hazards, sudden disappearance of fish worldwide, effect on locust , effect on wheat belt and cultivation in general, shrinkage of the planetary magnetospheres and the heliosphere, reduction of ionizations in the ionosphere, reduction in outer Van Allen Belt owing to reduced solar wind, inflation in the inner Van Allen belt due to increased cosmic rays causing increased hazards to satellites, increased frequency of cyclones, twisters and hurricanes. Among short term forecasts, are sudden flash floods over Mekka AlMukaramah, Geddah and El Madina which have been studied for the last 30 years and proved to be attributed to splar wind streams emanating from solar coronal holes and coronal mass ejections. Nile floods and droughts have been studied in relation to solar millennium cycles since 9000 BC , in Ancient Egyptian epoch as well as Arab Epoch since 622 AD. She has succeeded in forecasting Nile floods. Among her forecasts based on solar terrestrial relations are the expected rise of the Dead Sea, Aral Sea and Lake Chad in the near future. In 2016 she has published a book with Hashim Elfaky in Germany on solar forcing of weak solar cycles on Equatorial African Lakes. She has been chosen by Cambridge Biographical center as one of the best 2000 intellectuals in the world in 2006 and 2016. She has also been included in Who's who in the world. She has just finished writing two books on the .creation and destruction of the cosmos and is looking for a polisher to publish her books.
