Theodor Landscheidt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Theodor Landscheidt (born in 1927 in Bremen, Germany, died on May 20, 2004) was an author, astrologer and amateur climatologist.[1]
In 1989, Landscheidt forecast a period of sunspot minima after 1990, accompanied by increased cold, with a stronger minima and more intense cold which should peak in 2030 [1], which he described as the "Landscheidt Minimum" [2] His work on solar cycles is cited by global warming skeptics [3] to argue that observed warming is not anthropogenic and will soon be reversed, based on an assumption that fluctuations in climate are controlled by solar activity.[4]
In 1983 he founded and financed the Schroeter Institute for Research in Cycles of Solar Activity in Lilienthal, near Bremen. [5] The Institute (for which Landscheidt appears to have been the only active researcher) later moved with him to Nova Scotia, Canada.
