Even if CO2 is rising, even if arctic ice has retreated, even if there has been a minor rise in ocean levels, there is reason to believe we may be on the verge of a new ice age which could dramatically change the planet. Crop failure and migration away from poles could begin a new era of famine and unrest.

No biggie. Cap-and-Trade will solve everything. /s

Beam me to Planet Gore !

I think it started about 10 years ago according to my natural gas consumption increases year after year!

Let's see if Mexico can hold back the waves of Norteamericanos streaming across their border.

In a few years, people here in the US won’t be able to afford to heat their homes.

[Shadowstrike]

I wanted a fireplace when we built the house, but noooooo everybody else said it was to much of a bother.

[eyedigress]

And there isn’t a damn thing we can do about it.

Here in Wisconsin we are struggling to hit 70.

[CodeMasterPhilzar]

Silly silly non-believer. Don't you know Global Warming can still explain some places being unseasonably cold?

{flunky steps in, whispers in ear...}

Ahem. I'm sorry, I mis-spoke. What I meant to say is that Rapid Climate Change is upon us. This is the reason some areas may be getting colder. It really doesn't matter, send more money.

Sadly, probably not really satire...

So far, we haven’t had summer, and summer is half over. It’s at least 10-20 degrees below normal day and nightime temps.

Farmers have missed the seeding season. It’s going to be a bad year for grain crops, just watch prices hit all time highs this fall as harvest estimates fall well below average.

Stock up on your oats for your porridge now.

Chilling news ping

If this should happen, what of the climate models? Any “scientist” who relies on current models which failed to predict the cooling that has already occurred have forfeited their right to be taken seriously. If they want to be heeded, shouldn’t their models predicting the future trends at least comport with observable passed events and present trends?

[ReneeLynn]

Weren’t they waiting for an ice age in the 70’s? I guess that means by 2039 or so they ought to start talking global warming again.

[Kirkwood]

We should have an ice age party. You get the lawn chairs so we can watch the glaciers come in and I’ll get some ice.

I don’t know what you can blame it on, but it’s obvious by looking at a nation wide temperature map over the last week that the jet stream is dipping down to southern border states. Usually it’s done doing that by early May, and is well up in Canada by now. The last time the Twin cities has had three strait sub 60 days before this week was 1951. That pool pass is getting lonely.

[Buck W.]

Good thing there’s global warming to balance it out.

[TigersEye]

That’s what it feels like here in the foothills of the CO Rockies. I’m still turning on the heat in the morning.

May?
