I'm pretty sure we will hit an ice age soon due to declining sunspot numbers and a solar pole reversal soon. Only time will tell. Quoting: #Geomagnetic_Storm# Sunspots and poles are irrelevant at this point, the ice sheet breaking up IS itself an ice age trigger. A continent's worth of water is now exposed to the sun, drastically increasing evaporation, increasing precipitation in the northern hemisphere. Increased precipitation causes more and more of the land to be covered in reflective snow and ice, reducing the amount of the Sun's heat being absorbed the planet, causing a positive feedback loop. We'll be in an ice age for as long as it takes to naturally rebuild the arctic ice sheath. |

An ice age is defined as a period of time where the planet has large ice sheets, ice caps, and glaciers. The planet has been in ice ages for about 1 billion out of the 4 billion years it has been here. For the other 3 billion years, there was NO MAJOR AMOUNTS OF ICE on the planet's surface. No glaciers, no ice sheets, no ice caps. NO ICE. |

Quran 8:12- Remember thy Lord inspired the angels (with the message): "I am with you: give firmness to the Believers: I will instill terror into the hearts of the Unbelievers: smite them above their necks and smite all their finger-tips off them." Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith - 7.88: The Prophet wrote the (marriage contract) with 'Aisha while she was six years old and consummated his marriage with her while she was nine years old and she remained with him for nine years (i.e. till his death). |

Another potential contributor to amplified warming that's investigated is changes in cloud cover. Spring is the only season that exhibits significant trends in Arctic average cloudiness and the trend is negative. However, decreased cloud cover is expected to cause surface cooling because clouds have a warming influence in spring. Thus no evidence is found of cloud cover changes contributing to recent near-surface Arctic warming. The empirical evidence from the past two decades reveals that declining sea ice cover and thickness have been great enough to enhance Arctic warming during most of the year. The emergence of strong ice–temperature positive feedbacks increases the likelihood of future rapid Arctic warming and sea ice decline. |
