Ice age....?

Over the years many ice ages have occurred, some mini ones, like happened in Europe many years ago, but are we on the verge of a real banger of an ice age?
Many areas on the globe are having the worst winters on record and the pile up of snow & ice is causing many states & countries to plead for help with the removal of it.
The last great ice age had no snow/ice removal system in place and it kept piling up.
This coming summer, with a rise in heat around the globe, will cause more melting of ice caps etc. which will add more fuel for an even worse winter in 2011/2012.
Any thoughts on this?
All thoughts accepted!

People around the world .... meddle, destroy and ruin! Only thinking of themselves and greed and now, with no consideration for those to come......


However, there is now movement towards trying to help and improve our environment and world - hoping it's not too late!

Re: Ice age....?

We got this warning back in the 60s but no one believed it.
Al Gore & others tried again a few years ago and still folks pushed it aside-but a few did listen.
NOW!!! We are listening, but sad to say, our house of cards is too far gone for us to correct or slow down.

Re: Ice age....?

That tragically is the problem with so many things. People prefer to ignore, or turn a blind eye. Not wanting the additional work, or not wanting to get their hands dirty!

Nipping something in the bud, will help prevent a whole mountain of trouble later.....

Re: Ice age....?

The human condition has always been like that & has gotten worse over the years, now that mountain you speak of, has targeted our heads.
Time to rethink how we have behaved.
Another thought: Where would we all go? I can bet that countries in southern regions would have many issues about an influx of millions from their northern neighbors. Part of the issue would be feeding them.

Re: Ice age....?

What is your central heating set at? 11/12/15/20/23°C
The higher it is the more you are destroying our planet.

How many MPG,s does your car do?

Do you have energy saving lights?

Is your home fully insulated? .

Do you switch off electrical items that your not using or do you leave them on standby?

The next ice age is just around the corner but having said that I have just bought a complete Arctic outfit.
