...Extreme temperature variations have occurred on Earth during the last few million years because of its extended Ice Ages which included brief warm periods that continue until now. Researchers conduct their studies on climatic patterns to forecast upcoming climate variations that will occur during the next several hundred years.
Earth maintains a constant temperature throughout time. The planet follows natural cycles which repeat approximately every 100000 years throughout its history of millions of years. The planet spends most of its time in a Glacial Period which lasts through Ice Ages except for brief warming periods that last 10000 to 15000 years. Our current warm period has persisted for 11500 years which indicates that our planet has reached its final stage of summer.
Earth follows its present orbit around the sun which leads to the start of Ice Ages...The solar heat that reaches Earth will decrease through this change because we are approaching a position that generally results in cooling.
..The planet's tilt determines the amount of sunlight that reaches both its North Pole and South Pole areas. The Northern Hemisphere receives less summer sunlight at this particular tilt angle which leads to snow accumulation and eventual development of substantial ice sheets.
The Gulf Stream and other ocean currents show signs of an approaching Ice Age through their decreased movement rates...

The 1970s are back! I wonder if bellbottoms will be back too.
Are we going into an ice age or coming out of a warming period?,
What is “normal”? The climate has never been static.
Sun activity is the only heat source.
They must be running out of grant money.
If the planet is Cooling, the best ways to warm it up are:
higher taxes, less industrialization, more communism.
Not to worry!! They'll be back pushing global warming at the next heat wave this summer.
Yeah, this was going to happen 55 years ago when I was in high school.
Yawn..........
Every person should be given a ‘free’ SUV and a ‘free’ lifetime gas card...must stop the global cooling...
Unfortunately also most of the Midwest.
Glaciers reached South of Indianapolis and to the middle of Nebraska.
And, the adjacent areas turned into inhabitable Tundra.
Everybody would have to move to Florida then!
But Florida would double in size as sea levels drop!
Gosh, I hope so. I always looked great in bell bottoms.
You left out “atmospheric rivers”
What a shit site! I gave up trying to read the actual story amid all the garbage. Well it’s Microsoft so no surprise there.
Ok so there might be a silver lining after all.
😊
In the VanHagar song video “Right Now” one of the things that crosses the screen is “Right now is just a lull between ice ages”.
That was back in the 80s.
Sammy knew.
That’s why he couldn’t drive 55, he wanted to bring on global warming to melt the ice.
I knew there was a good side to him.
😆
Ah…. getting ahead of the doomsday predicted to occur in 4 years. Keep moving the goalposts greenies….
Democrats blame ICE agents for planting ICE seeds.............
Opinions and belly buttons, everybody has one.
What part of the last 50 or so years is a hoax?
Not to worry, I live by the river.
INB4 Al Gore says we have less than 5 years before dolphins are stranded on icebergs.
Well...that didn’t take long.
Of course, this was predicted in the 90’s by a scientist whose name I have forgotten opposed to the global warming hyteria.
