“Scientists fear ‘Day After Tomorrow’ climate change,” shouts the headline on MSNBC. According to two new studies, global warming could (supposedly) shut down ocean circulation. This could drop vast stretches of Asia into drought and expose the entire Northern Hemisphere to severe ice and snow. “This change would be sudden and sharp enough to roil civilization—happening in as little as three years and resulting in as much as an 18-degree Fahrenheit drop in average temperatures,” says this article by Tony Dokoupil.
Dokoupil tells the story of Jud Partin, a geophysicist at the University of Texas, who gathered new geological data and re-examined the deep past. Partin and his colleagues looked at an earlier, all-natural melt-off that happened about 12,000 years ago, says Dokoupil. “Known as the ‘Younger Dryas,’ the period was defined by a deep chill across the northern latitudes.”
“Ice core studies cited by Partin show an 18-degree Fahrenheit drop in average temperatures across Greenland. New York and London would be slightly warmer, he believes, but still frigid with average temperature drops of at least a dozen degrees.” “It would definitely change everyday life in Europe and North America,” Partin told MSNBC. “Daily life would be drastically affected in these areas, in ways I can’t imagine or begin to address.”
Dokoupil goes on to cite the 2004 disaster-flick “Day After Tomorrow,” then quickly cites a different study by scientists from Germany’s Alfred Wegener Institute. Those scientists concluded that existing models may have underestimated the sensitivity of the ocean’s system. Even a relatively small change in the ocean’s salinity, the researchers wrote, “corresponds to a significant temperature decrease of up to 40%” across North America and Europe.
Trouble is that Dokoupil throws in enough quotes and references from the movie that you lose track of which part is reality and which is fiction. But the unmistakable takeaway is that global warming, caused by greenhouse gases, could trigger an ice age.
Talk about having it both ways.As far as I’m concerned, this is just another contribution to the AGW hoax fraud.
Yes on ice it’s all about the tires.
I recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks.
“Scientists” = clerics.
They just gotta keep that money rolling in.
“Phoenix will be perfect.”

The Larry Niven / Jerry Pournelle book “Fallen Angels” was pretty prescient.
Environmentalists take over, seeking energy usage reduction even as the ice advances.
They had it down to hatred of science fiction unless it was message fiction and the push to water down sciences so there are less works by white men.
I think the Greenies finally have a an argument that is fool proof. I men do nothing and we have an ice age, pretend to cut CO2 and we have cooling. Either way leads to the same place. Genius.
Lol
In other propaganda... War is Peace, and Slavery is Freedom...film at Eleventy Yellow.
Really. Bridgestones are excellent tires. Second to the last time I had to drive in ice, my little Toy had Desert Duelers on it.
Heaven forbid this gets to be a habit, but I’ll remember this. Thanks!
Scientist=Circus Con men.
Probably the only true thing they’ve said. According to a theory I learned long before Algore came along, if the polar ice caps melt, there will be so much water that in the polar regions and temperate regions, so much snow will fall in the winters that it won’t all melt in the spring and summer. Glaciers will form, and advance bringing on an ice age. Meanwhile the tropical zones will become deserts.
This is one theory of why there are advancing and retreating ice ages. Whether the global warming is caused by humans is where the only settled science is the political science.
My theory is that these fools are really going to find a way to cool off the planet due to fears of globull warming, and then they won’t be able to stop it, and we WILL have another ice age, and then 85% of the peoples will die and the Agenda 21 will be realized.

Earth heading for 'mini ice age' in just 15 years, scientists say
UPI ^ | Updated July 11, 2015 | Doug G. Ware
Solar scientists predict that the Earth will enter a "mini ice age" around 2030 due to decreased activity by the sun, which will bring with it frigid cold winters. The last time the Earth experienced a similar situation occurred between 1645 and 1715.

I mount a set of Blizzaks on my SUV in the winter. AWD, ABS, traction control, and stability control makes up for my old age deterioration of driving skills.
Back in the 70s when I lived in Cleveland we had studded snow tires. Those were pretty awesome too but shredded the pavement.
Look for a study to come out soon saying globull warming will cause koala and pandas to become extinct. We’re seeing an historic marketing effort.
To test somebody to see if they are a witch you try to get them to confess by dunking them to the point of drowning or piling stones on their chest. If the admit to being a witch you stop the trial. You immediately find them guilty of witchcraft and execute them. OTH If they don't confess you keep the trial going going until they die.
This is the same "logic" employed here.
No matter what.... it will be Bush’s fault.
Most of the people leading movements like this don't believe the crap themselves. Their goal is to get other people to believe it.
