Scientist predicts earth is heading for another Ice Age
GLOBAL WARMING'S FAULT ?

AS Arctic Britain prepares to shiver for at least another month, a leading scientist today predicted the world was heading for another Ice Age.

Incredibly, British Summer Time officially starts tomorrow but millions of brassed off Brits pining for warmth will have to endure freezing temperatures and biting winds until May.

The misery will continue with daytime temperatures struggling to reach a bracing 5C (41F). The only ray of sunshine, forecasters said, is that it will stay dry.

As if the outlook wasn’t bleak enough already, meteorologists believe the shivering start to 2013 has been the coldest in more than 200 years.

More worryingly, the combination of sub-zero temperatures and heavy snow experienced across much of the country recently could be the prelude to a new Ice Age that will begin next year and last for 200 years.

Russian scientist Dr Habibullo Abdussamatov, of the St Petersburg Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory, painted the Doomsday scenario saying the recent inclement weather simply proved we were heading towards a frozen planet.

Dr Abdussamatov believes Earth was on an “unavoidable advance towards a deep temperature drop”. The last big freeze, known as the Little Ice Age, was between 1650 and 1850.

Today he said: “The last global decrease of temperature (the most cold phase of the Little Ice Age) was observed in Europe, North America and Greenland.

“All channels in the Netherlands were frozen, glaciers were on the advance in Greenland and people were forced to leave their settlements, inhabited for several centuries.

“The Thames river in London and Seine in Paris were frozen over every year. Humanity has always been prospering during the warm periods and suffering during the cold ones. The climate has never been and will never be stable.”

The miserable weather since the turn of the year has been blamed on two episodes of high pressure.

A poorly positioned jet stream means ice cold temperatures and the continuing risk of snow showers across the north and east.

Almost all of the UK can expect a continuation of night frost, which will turn severe at times.

April is forecast to be a drier than average month in the north and east, slightly wetter to the south and west but it is expected to be one of the oldest on record.

Forecaster Jonathan Powell, of Vantage Weather Services, said: “My goodness haven’t we suffered over the winter, but if people are after sunshine in the next month my advice would be to head for the airport.

“It is going to remain dry at least, but we will all need to remember to pull on an extra layer of clothing before stepping outside.

“May could well be our saving grace because at the moment it’s looking a lot better but I am sorry to say after that we are heading down the same route as last year.”

Numbing temperatures of -11C (12F) last night <<Fri>> broke the previous coldest Easter with some describing the past few months as “Britain’s lost spring”.

"Global warming could plunge North America and Western Europe into a deep freeze, possibly within only a few decades.

That's the paradoxical scenario gaining credibility among many climate scientists. The thawing of sea ice covering the Arctic could disturb or even halt large currents in the Atlantic Ocean. Without the vast heat that these ocean currents deliver--comparable to the power generation of a million nuclear power plants--Europe's average temperature would likely drop 5 to 10°C (9 to 18°F), and parts of eastern North America would be chilled somewhat less. Such a dip in temperature would be similar to global average temperatures toward the end of the last ice age roughly 20,000 years ago.
...
Some scientists believe this shift in ocean currents could come surprisingly soon--within as little as 20 years,"

This planet is just a continuing of circles and cycles, right now as far as earths history goes, we are in a warm phase, of an ice age...let the ice caps melt, it will rebuild itself...It will not be the first time this has happened, nor the 2nd, or 3rd time in the past 100,000 years...CO2 is a joke... it is literally ppm ("Parts per Millions") in scale to other atoms in our atmosphere...for those who do not understand what Parts per Million means, if our atmosphere was composed of only a million atoms...only 4-5 of them would be CO2..

Methane is what to look for, Our entire seabed is filled with Methane lakes...just waiting for our oceans to heat up enough for the liquid state, to turn to gas, override the pressure, and release to the surface...Permian extinction all over again...95% of DNA destroyed...no biggy for earth... only be the 5-6th time to do it...

This is obvious BS. The climate is stable, has always been stable, and is only now becoming unstable due to human induced climate change. Bet this "scientist" is on the Koch brothers payroll.

The only way to save planet earth is for mandatory carbon taxes, administered by the U.N., and global worship of Al Gore as the Jewish messiah.

The U.N must also institute a Tobin tax...............

Re: Scientist predicts earth is heading for another Ice Age
Didn't an earlier Russian scientist already predict this behavior? I recall something called the Milancovitch cycle? (Not sure of spelling) basically as our solar system passes through the maximum gravitational pull of the elliptical plane of our galaxy we're all pulled together a bit more so we're closer to our Sun, hence warmer. Then as we pass away from the elliptical plane we get cooler again. I believe his math coincided with the end of the 'age of the sun' that everyone was prattling on about from the Mayan calender. So yes cooler times predicted. In fact geologically our little planet has been a ball of ice, more times than it has warm. Aren't we technically in the middle of an 'inter-glacial' period? Yes I do also believe the carbon emissions market is complete vs for the moneymakers also, hay while the sun shines you might say...

Re: Scientist predicts earth is heading for another Ice Age
More Marxist Agenda leeching off Capitalism to create an Authoritarian planet.

[link to en.wikipedia.org]

Many of these self-proclaimed Marxist nations (often styled People's Republics) eventually became authoritarian states, with stagnating economies. This caused some debate about whether Marxism was doomed in practise or these nations were in fact not led by "true Marxists". Critics of Marxism speculated that perhaps Marxist ideology itself was to blame for the nations' various problems. Followers of the currents within Marxism which opposed Stalin, principally cohered around Leon Trotsky, tended to locate the failure at the level of the failure of world revolution: for communism to have succeeded, they argue, it needed to encompass all the international trading relationships that capitalism had previously developed.

The theory is warming causes all the ice to melt in the n.arctic,the fresh water flows into the salt water of the Atlantic and the boy-ency difference causes the fresh water to sink beneath the salt water thus disabling the atlantic ocean conveyed belt which normally brings warmth from the equator to Europe making it more mild temp wise.

Re: Scientist predicts earth is heading for another Ice Age
scientists studying the last ice age concluded that plants had been flash frozen, the study which took place somewhere in south america ( i can't recollect exactly where ) showed ancient vegetation which was discovered as the ice line has been retreating on a mountain range, the retreating ice, some scientist attributed to global warming, has opened new land to study which has remained untouched for thousands of years. scientists found plants that looked as if they had been flash frozen, leading many theorists to say that the ice age was not a gradual process but rather a swift one.

The problem with this field of study has always been the same, alot of it's fill in the blanks as we do not have enough evidence. was it a slow process that speeded up or a fast process that slowed down? we will only have a definitive answer when we actually experience it.

I personally believe that mankind currently faces obstacles much graver than a impending ice age, obstacles that must be resolved if humanity is to truly thrive.
