New Ice Age coming I read

[Sid70]

Just watched some youtube based scientific stuff from Russia, they say gulf stream is gone,
be ready for a new ice age in 3 years, the ice will come down to Turkey.

So, where are you going to run? Got any plan?
Can you do anything else then board posting to survive?

Looking forward to it. I watched the other movies.

me thinks it takes a tad longer than 3 years for an earth "age" change.

Actually, we are technically still in an ice age. We are just in an interglacial period. Interglacials average around 12,000 years in length and the one we are in has so far lasted 11,400 years. So yes, we are soon due for the next glaciation.

Don't worry global warming will put a stop to that.

oops, i stand corrected, learned something new:




The latest evidence suggests that the Younger Dryas mini ice age took less than 3 years to be in full force in Europe, possibly just a few months to go from no signs to full-on "Big Freeze". The new evidence comes in the form of more detailed analysis of ever-thinner slivers of glacial ice, suggesting that severe sudden cold caused the lakes of Europe to go dead in a matter of months. The evidence now suggests that melting ice slowed the gulf stream, and resulted in near-instantaneous climate change in the opposite direction - so warmer years directly contributed to much colder years immediately thereafter, which in turn lead to (among other things) the decline of the clovis culture in North America.

I love those Ice Age movies - can hardly wait for the new one...

Its on youtube. It must be real.

Does that mean it will only be 87 in Tampa during August?

Lmfao!!!!

We need to pay Global Cooling taxes to Rothchild's World Bank, that will save the day!

Okay that was good.

It's been a theory for quite some time and it's based on scientific fact.. It's nothing new.

The basis of the theory is the way the Earth keeps it's current climate is due to the currents of the oceans. The Gulf stream is just one of these ocean current that cools/warms our planet.

Essentially it's just a big conveyor belt that moves water around the oceans on our planet. The cold water from the arctics drops down deep in the ocean travels toward the equator and the warmer water stays at the surface and eventually circulates back to the arctics, where the whole process starts over again.

The basic idea is that if the ice caps all melt, it will stop this natural conveyor system which will stop the water from circulating and cause the oceans to get very cold spurring a other ice age. (that's the theory part)

Essentially global warming would create global cooling, if this theory plays out.

pretty cool then
