Upside-down "rivers" of warm ocean water may be one of the causes of Antarctica's ice shelves breaking up, leading to a rise in sea levels. But a new study suggests an increase in sea ice in a colder climate may lead to a much more devastating change in the Earth's climate another ice age.
Using computer simulations, the research suggests that an increase in sea ice could significantly alter the circulation of the ocean, ultimately leading to a reverse greenhouse effect as carbon dioxide levels in the ocean increase and levels in the air decrease.
One key question in the field is still what caused the Earth to periodically cycle in and out of ice ages, University of Chicago professor and the study's co-author, Malte Jansen, said in a statement. We are pretty confident that the carbon balance between the atmosphere and ocean must have changed, but we dont quite know how or why."

In Search Of...The Coming Ice Age

Time for a bread and milk run? I don’t want to be last minute about it.
“Explosion in Antarctic sea ice levels may cause another ice age”
Isn’t an increase in sea ice a symptom rather than a cause?
And the glaciers will scrape NYC into the Atlantic Ocean.
LOL
Please! No!!

Piker!!!, I may have moved south, but I still have my equipment for sub zero weather including heavy insulated pants and mukluk boots

It’s the Sun, stupid.
The source of all heat.
When it increases or decreases output, earth gets colder or warmer.
“They are bringing back the 70s, is disco far behind? /s”
LOL! (Although I did like disco balls. Travolta... not so much.)
Was in grade school at the start of the 70’s and humans should have been annihilated at least 3 times by now.
I want them to explain why there are river beds in the Sahara, North pole rocks are at the equator, and the Mediterranean was been bone dry over 40 time.
But this isn’t about science, it’s about emotional manipulation for power.
We watched the same with the Kavanaugh hearing. It wasn’t about abortion. It was about stopping a Constitutionalist who is a threat to the power they crave.
“Whichever it is, its OUR fault, according to totalitarian leftists.”
And an enormous tax increase combined with profound limitations on your freedoms is the only solution.

When they can answer that one, they can get back to us on global warming.
Besides, cold water holds far more CO2 than warm water. Every brewer knows that.
And 99.9999% of the earth’s heat comes from the sun.
“We are pretty confident that the carbon balance between the atmosphere and ocean must have changed, but we dont quite know how or why.”
EXACTLY. Please tell that to the climate change nuts out there. Nobody knows what’s happening now either, so stop imposing laws & rules & beliefs on everyone else
Aren’t we still awaiting the ice age that was definitely going to happen by 1980? My first ever new “muscle” car only had about 140 hp because of it. (1973 Mustang Mach 1 351 Cleveland engine.)
So the planet may be cooling? Liberal plans to dump fossil fuels are looking premature.
Antarctica has been frozen for 15 million years. Surrounded by the world ocean, its an alpine desert.
Not to going to thaw in the next 11 years.
This is another question similar to the chicken/egg controversy.
Oh, theyve got their minds made up. . . What ever they make up, requires more government, less freedom, and much higher taxes. Got it? Thats how it works. No matter what ad hoc fantasy they are pushing at the moment, the answer is more government, less freedom, and much higher taxes for them to throw at the fantasy and to control what you and everyone else is doing. Its a positive feed-back loop. . .
