Cyclical Ice age gets hold of the earth – how severe will it be by 2012?

Yep, the same one.

Perhaps the editor has a loan that comes due in 2012.

Methinks this is a crock. If the above statement is true, please explain to me why evidence of mass global extinction events does not exist for these periods and how species including plants and animals that are ten times older than that are still here.

You need to do more research. I recommend reading "Not by Fire, but by Ice" by Robert Felix. There are many more cycles documented by Felix. The article "cherry picked" the big items. The volcanic activity causes the oceans to literally boil into a "fish stew". The extra water vapor precipitates as snow. The snow and ice cover reflects sunlight causing temperatures to fall and persistance of the snow/ice on the ground.

Fresh water creatures near the equator/tropics survived the last ice age just fine. Woolly mammoths frolicked in the snow too long and were caught in snow too deep to escape. There are huge piles of woolly mammoth bones where they were trapped by the cold weather.

The effects observed are strictly consequences of the normal orbit of the earth and movement of our solar system through the galaxy. No magic. No politics. Simple physics.

BTW, there are regular layers of iridium that match these periodic events. The famous "KT" boundary is just one of them.

I vote for Democrats...oohh* ooohh* *hand in the air*

One is occurring right now.

Technically, we are in an ice age. Ice ages are segmented into glacial and inter-glacial periods. Right now, we are approaching the tail end of an inter-glacial period. Lots of things survived ice ages, just in different regions and had to repopulate areas after the ice retreated.

"we need an UN resolution to stop this before i's to late"
Just ask and you shall receive

[JoeGar]

Some Geologists believe that global warming is causing the freeze ...

Makes sense to me!

[conservative barking moonbat]

What do we do with all the brass monkeys?

[Libertina]

At nervous time
We roll downtown
We've got scenes to crash
We're gonna trick and trash
We're gonna find some fun
We hit the street
With visors down
With our thermasuits
Sealed up tight
We can beat the freeze
And get saved tonight
Let's stop off at the Metroplex
That little dancer's got some style
Yes she's the one I'll be waiting for
At the stage door

Snowbound
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights

We take the tube
To Club Hi Ho
It's about deadspace
It's a marketplace
And a party house too
Something new
From Charlie Tokyo
It's a kind of pyramid
With a human heart
Beating in an ion grid
A critic grabs us
And says without a smile
The work seduces us with light
Eviva laughs and we step out
Into the blue-white night

Snowbound
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights

We sail our icecats on the frozen river
Some loser fires off a flare -- amen
For seven seconds it's like Christmas day
And then it's dark again
And then it's dark again

Snowbound
Let's sleep in today
Wake me up
When the wolves come out to play
Heat up
These white nights
We're gonna turn this town
Into a city of lights

I think you are dead on. By crying hyterically, the left is in a position to claim success whatever change happens, heating or cooling.

It is in the 50's today and I broke out my woolens and boots. It's a little warm for the afternoon, but it felt good for a tiny little while this morning!

[HOTTIEBOY]

makes no sense at all.
All evolution on this planet as it exists now cannot take place in 105,000 years.

[who knows what evil?]

Isn't that good enough for you, you ungrateful wretch?

No, damnit! I want to hang on to as much of the money as I have rightfully earned, and if that makes me a selfish, inconsiderate SOB, so be it! I want it ALL...screw the planet.

[conservative barking moonbat]

Would the low flow toilets work under 400 feet of ice?

[Myrddin]

What do we do with all the brass monkeys?

Don't store iron cannonballs on them if you are expecting cold weather.

""""The last time the entire earth was under ice was 3 or 4 billion years ago""""

PSST!
You mean 3 or 4 MILLION?
The Earth is only a little over 4 billion years old.

I know where your coming from, though.

It is 50 degrees right now in South Jersey. I could come to like the ice age stuff if it is anything like this.
