Ice ages come every 11,000 years. A mega ice age comes every 105,000 years. Both are due between now and 2012. The 11,000 year cycle happens because of increase and decrease of cyclical underwater volcanic eruption. The 105,000 mega ice age happens because of the changing shape of the orbit of the earth around the sun circular to elliptical and then back to circular every 105,000 years.
Both the cycles are overdue. They have actually started. Europe right now is in deep freeze. Japan and South Korea are experiencing the worst snowfall ever. Even New Delhi is experiencing the worst ever fog and cold weather. Do not get surprised to see New Delhi experiencing the weather of Moscow, Miami experiencing the weather of Chicago.
Since the 105,000 cycle is overdue, the freeze can be real severe by 2012 and beyond. Some Geologists believe that global warming is causing the freeze because of manipulation of warm ocean currents and streams. The manipulation has occurred for many reasons. Global warming from human civilization is one reason. But much more serious is the cyclical increase in under ocean volcanoes and stretched geysers over miles. Such an eruption has recently been discovered in Indian Ocean stretching 45 miles releasing superheated steam to 750 degree F.
Because of this extra heat ocean is getting evaporated. The resulting precipitation is forming the snow and eventually ice. In the last ice age, Montreal in Canada was under two miles of ice. NY was less than 400 feet of ice. The southern US has no ice but had the weather of Canada with very often snow fall.
With our current technology, our civilization will survive the smaller cycle the 11,000 year cycle that can produce a mini ice age. Food will be scarce and much of the northern hemisphere will be under deep ice with little life there. Serious migration of population will take place from north to south.
The terrestrial civilization cannot survive the mega ice age that comes every 105,000 years. In that case the ocean levels will fall by 500 feet on an average. The whole earth will be under deep ice. How do we know if the ice age that is engulfing the earth is smaller or the mega one?
Some geologists, astrophysicists and scientists believe if the mega ice age is starting then certain parts of the world will be very cold and under deep snow for a few years. At the same time many parts of the world will experience very mild winter. El Nino which is due in 2008-2009 can cause the mega ice age to come. A super volcano in Toba or Yellow Stone can also cause the mega ice age. Earths current orbit around the Sun suggests that any of these will instantaneously ( two months for example) put the earth into deep freeze. A burst of cosmic dusts from the center of the galaxy can also cause the same. Severe weather patterns that is taking hold of the earth are not very good signs.
Yep, the same one.
Perhaps the editor has a loan that comes due in 2012.
You need to do more research. I recommend reading "Not by Fire, but by Ice" by Robert Felix. There are many more cycles documented by Felix. The article "cherry picked" the big items. The volcanic activity causes the oceans to literally boil into a "fish stew". The extra water vapor precipitates as snow. The snow and ice cover reflects sunlight causing temperatures to fall and persistance of the snow/ice on the ground.
Fresh water creatures near the equator/tropics survived the last ice age just fine. Woolly mammoths frolicked in the snow too long and were caught in snow too deep to escape. There are huge piles of woolly mammoth bones where they were trapped by the cold weather.
The effects observed are strictly consequences of the normal orbit of the earth and movement of our solar system through the galaxy. No magic. No politics. Simple physics.
BTW, there are regular layers of iridium that match these periodic events. The famous "KT" boundary is just one of them.
I vote for Democrats...oohh* ooohh* *hand in the air*
One is occurring right now.
Technically, we are in an ice age. Ice ages are segmented into glacial and inter-glacial periods. Right now, we are approaching the tail end of an inter-glacial period. Lots of things survived ice ages, just in different regions and had to repopulate areas after the ice retreated.
Makes sense to me!
What do we do with all the brass monkeys?
GLOBAL WARMING!!!!!!!! lolol Ya gotta luv that nutty left ;)
At nervous time
We roll downtown
We've got scenes to crash
We're gonna trick and trash
We're gonna find some fun
We hit the street
With visors down
With our thermasuits
Sealed up tight
We can beat the freeze
And get saved tonight
Let's stop off at the Metroplex
That little dancer's got some style
Yes she's the one I'll be waiting for
At the stage door
SnowboundWe take the tube
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights
To Club Hi Ho
It's about deadspace
It's a marketplace
And a party house too
Something new
From Charlie Tokyo
It's a kind of pyramid
With a human heart
Beating in an ion grid
A critic grabs us
And says without a smile
The work seduces us with light
Eviva laughs and we step out
Into the blue-white night
SnowboundWe sail our icecats on the frozen river
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights
Some loser fires off a flare -- amen
For seven seconds it's like Christmas day
And then it's dark again
And then it's dark again
Snowbound
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights
I think you are dead on. By crying hyterically, the left is in a position to claim success whatever change happens, heating or cooling.
It is in the 50's today and I broke out my woolens and boots. It's a little warm for the afternoon, but it felt good for a tiny little while this morning!
makes no sense at all.
All evolution on this planet as it exists now cannot take place in 105,000 years.
No, damnit! I want to hang on to as much of the money as I have rightfully earned, and if that makes me a selfish, inconsiderate SOB, so be it! I want it ALL...screw the planet.
Would the low flow toilets work under 400 feet of ice?
Don't store iron cannonballs on them if you are expecting cold weather.
bookmark for later.
""""The last time the entire earth was under ice was 3 or 4 billion years ago""""
PSST!
You mean 3 or 4 MILLION?
The Earth is only a little over 4 billion years old.
I know where your coming from, though.
It is 50 degrees right now in South Jersey. I could come to like the ice age stuff if it is anything like this.
