THIS is far more worthy of concern that globull warming. Quick, someone tell Albore that the earth is overdue for a sudden swift flip into a new ice age, and globull “warming” doesn’t have a damned thing to do with it.
If this happened again...GM would make a killing on SUVs world wide...Coal plants would spring eternal...and the left would still scream....”Bushes Fault!”.

Didn’t it take about 20 minutes in that algore global warming = global freezing movie?
A minor problem. As we all know, all we’ll have to do is drive our SUVs a little more and the atmosphere will warm right up. /sarcasm
We have had cold stormy conditions for most of the sunner here in Alaska. ‘08-the summer that wasn’t.
If so, then it must have resulted from a reduction of the solar radiation on the Earth.
It could happen again, as opposed to global warming because of human, carbon emissions.
Oddly enough I just started reading Sci-Fi called “Fallen Angel” by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Michael Flynn. It’s about a sudden ice age.
It should be pointed out that this applies strictly to Europe. Something pretty similar could happen today if the Gulf Stream was diverted for some reason. London is north of the US-Canadian border.
I thought the last ice age ended about 10-13 k years ago and was about 60-80 k years long? This story doesn’t add up.

The last ice age 13,000 years ago took hold in just one year, more than ten times quicker than previously believed, scientists have warned. Rather than a gradual cooling over a decade, the ice age plunged Europe into the deep freeze, German Research Centre for Geosciences at Potsdam said. Cold, stormy conditions caused by an abrupt shift in atmospheric circulation froze the continent almost instantly during the Younger Dryas less than 13,000 years ago -- a very recent period on a geological scale.Funny thing, no one seems to have noticed that "more than ten times quicker" suggests that previously, the onset was held to be a short period, say, twenty years. At least one study which found that a large volume of chilly water flowed all at once into the Atlantic came out around ten years ago.
And prior to perhaps twenty years ago, the "ice ages" were held to have taken centuries, even millennia, to arise.Did A Significant Climate Change Event,The Younger Dryas event refers to an unexpected rapid cooling of the earth that is known to have lasted about 1,300 years. It coincided with widespread extinctions of species, but, although the event itself is well-documented, scientists are still unclear of whether its impact was felt equally all across the globe.
