Here Comes The Mini Ice Age
The Lid/UK Mail ^ | 1/10/10 | The Lid

Posted on 01/10/2010 3:28:24 PM PST by Shellybenoit

Back in September a climate Scientist, named Mojib Latif predicted that the earth was facing a mini "ice age," 20-30 years of global cooling. Latif said the cooling would be the result of changes to ocean currents and temperatures in the North Atlantic, a feature known as the North Atlantic Oscillation (NAO). Latif also said that the NAO may be partly the cause of warming during the past 30 years (he also said he is not a global warming skeptic).

The prediction of this non-skeptic challenge some of the Church of Global Warming's most holy beliefs, like the claim that the North Pole will be free of ice in summer by 2013, only a bit more than three years from now.

The US National Snow and Ice Data Centre in Colorado, says that Arctic summer sea ice has increased by 409,000 square miles, or 26 per cent, since 2007, and even the most committed global warming moonbats do not dispute this. Ah, it must be a trick, the ice is going to disappear by growing. Just like the cooling is the result of global warming.

The scientists’ predictions about the effects of changes to ocean currents, also undermine the standard climate computer models, which assert that the warming of the Earth since 1900 has been driven solely by man-made greenhouse gas emissions and will continue as long as carbon dioxide levels rise.

Low CO2 levels are causing the return of the ICE AGE. Unless we get rid of all these high mileage cars and catalitic converters we will freeze. We must burn more fossil fuels. All the plants are going to die and we are going to starve because of reduced carbon dioxide emmissions. Unrenewable energy is the answer. We need reverse carbon credits for those with too small of a carbon footprint...

LOL!!!!

Explain how the earlier ice age happened.

Liberals are always wrong on everything. They must seek out error and pursue it vigorously. I guess in that sense they are successful.....well its something anyway.

Simple. There were no internal combustion engines. Muscle cars were the only thing staving off the return of the ICE AGE. We are doomed unless we bring back the 442 and GTO. We must manufacture millions of them and get the lead back in the gas.

Not to mention that when the dinosaurs went extinct the dinosaur farts were no longer helping stave off the ice.

The fact that my pool has an inch thick layer of ice on it here in Montgomery, AL is proof the Ice Age is returning.

Right. All this is caused by the EPA limiting auto emmissions. Here in Tampa we used to be able to stave off freezing the Oranges with smudge pots. Laws forbidding the use of smudge pots are causing Florida to freeze and killing Manatees by the thousands. Smudge pots are needed in every yard. They emit high levels of CO2.

Excuse me but, you are living on a planet populated by over 6 billion apes. Idiocy is the norm. Care to prove these particular apes idiocy ?

I have often said that, if a new "clean" energy source were discovered tomorrow that fills all Man's energy needs, that the environmentally responsible thing to do is dig up all the coal, oil, and natural gas and burn it anyway. Life is built out of carbon. Maybe the mega-fauna went extinct because there was not enough of a biosphere to support it. Give that sequestered carbon back to the biosphere!

(I bet you could actually turn this into a plausible argument, then sit back and watch the environmentalists and global idiots heads explode.)

Explain this AGWers - Snowball Earth - one of numerous times. And BTW just saw my first Simudon - hunting Mammoth no doubt...:) There will be white 'mountians' moving down from Northern Canada - only takes them 100 years to get 2 kilometers deep and cover most of NA.

Does that mean I can check off the “other” box when they ask my race on the census form?

If that happens Doomsday will be emminent. The lack of CO2 in the atmosphere is causing all these Earthquakes. The Polar Bears are going to be trapped in glaciers and die.

Which is probably true although I'm not sure there's enough stuff left to burn that will stave off the ice forever.

The easy way to explain Ice Age conditions is to posit an ON PERIOD where there's 2 mile deep ice on North America and an OFF PERIOD where there's an interglacial period like we have come to know and love.

The harder way is to note that it's not all ice all the time, nor is it warm all the time. The cycle continues throughout the period of performance ~ and sometimes we have a lot of ice, sometimes a moderate amount, and sometimes it all goes away, but even then there are times when it starts to come back.

Plus, we have TWO major controlling elements. One is North America and the other is Antarctica. As you will notice Antarctica will has thousands of feet of ice but it doesn't have a 2 mile deep ice sheet. Neither does North America. Both areas have sea ice, either in the Arctic Ocean basin or around Antarctica.

We need to worry when Antarctic sea ice increases its coverage AND when the ice gets deeper (which we'll know because the glaciers flowing to the sea will speed up).

I think that already happened.

I saw that polar bear commercial for CO15 and the one with the terrified little girl, which might have been the same one.

Sick.

This is the one thing that can save the world. GTO. And just look Obama destroyed the only company that could save us. We must ressurect Pontiac and get to work.

You guys can’t have smudge pots? For real?

Unless we start emmitting more Carbon the process will speed up and in Ten Years the Gays in Key West will have to move to Kwaijalien Atoll. Key west will be a Frozen Teenage Wasteland.
