Global warming will plunge Britain into new ice age 'within decades'
A story presented today in the Independent Portfolio brings warning of a slowing North Atlantic current that
will bring a "nightmare scenario" to the UK and Europe. "Robert Gagosian, the director of Woods Hole, considered one of the world's leading
oceanographic institutes, said: " We may be approaching a threshold that would shut down [the Gulf Stream] and cause abrupt climate changes."
The research was conducted by by experts from Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute.

This was also what was predicted that could occur in the book The Coming Global Superstorm.

Just another timely warning of things to come...
www.tompaine.com...
In an article published Jan. 26 in Fortune magazine, Marshall released the findings of an unclassified report—written by Peter Schwartz and Doug
Randall of the Global Business Network—entitled "An Abrupt Climate Change Scenario and Its Implications for United States National Security."
The entire article is a bit chilling (No pun intended)
and LOOKS like we're heading for this drastic change in the next 20 years.
who knows?

Seeing the previews for that movie was what I thought of when I saw this thread pop up. Similar idea, from what I understand.

I know I sucked at the whole physics class thing, but, I have to agree here. I thought heat kept ice from forming.

The truth is that the earth's climate is far from static and anybody vain enough to think they can change that is a more than a little off the mark.
What we must be careful are these predictions which are launched in a mad frenzie one after another. To accpet all these theories we must first
accept the globla warming computer generated model that was developed 20 some years ago that started this whole thing. Well, thankfully, the real
data being taken today doesn't back up this model to which all these theories are referenced. Its like saying something and calling it truth based
upon something else that we now know to be false. Anyone who has ever studied the past know that whether humans are here or not, the climate will
change. There are too many external factors to say limiting the .5% that we contribute will do anything other than passify some emotional unstables.

Based on the book, The Coming Global Superstorm. Quite an interesting story and read, in terms of suppying information into the why/how of the
storm.
I also noticed that the NY Times and Fortune picked up stories (finally) on this story from the Independant.

I read about the Ice Age idea years ago. An author portended that the reason why Ice Ages happen is due to the depletion of soils. He maintained that
remineralization of forest soil is essential. Picture this, earlier Ice Ages drag glaciers over thousands of miles of soil which remineralizes it.
The Ice Age ends, then soil erodes and depletes over years, trees die, plants die, indicating a crucial causative factor in climate change. Fewer
healthy trees reprocess less CO2, and volcanoes and other factors bring it higher. The gist of it is that a great deal of global warming happens at
the equator. Heated water creates a weather environment that pulls cold air down from the poles. Bingo, another Ice Age!
The remedy of course is to cut the cycle by remineralizing the soil, and doing the job that the glaciers would otherwise do over thousands of
years.
The key is life and life more abundantly, if you will.

yup, our air polution is a drop in the bucket in the atmoshere.
I like the people who think that car polution hurts the atmosphere. Oh brother. Besides the fact that the atmosphere is several times larger than
the surface area of the earth (to be conservative), and beisdes the fact that volcanic eruptions pour hundreds of times of polutants than we could
ever create it could be plausible.
Yeah, right.
The only ones we are poluting around here is ourselves.

When you affect the climate, it doenst just make things warmer, It cools # down too.
Its basicly like "the day after tomorrow" Cept less cgi

This is something I was taught at grammar school in the early 1980s. Global warming will basically create a mini Ice Age for Britain due to the
Atlantic Conveyor system no longer artificially heating the area.
