You can drive in 2wd like Steve Kinser at Eldora and then engage 4wd when you get stuck, LOL.

“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.

or not.
It’s going to get so hot we are going to freeze to death....Susanna don’t you cry!!!!
It warms, you’re doomed. It cools, you’re doomed. The Climate Change industry = the money continues to pour in. Win, win, win.
“what difference does it make”!
I wondered why he was walking with a limp.
Don't I wish. I turn 77 on Sunday, 9/13. Oh well it was a hell of a lot of fun earlier!!! No complaints.
It is amazing how these so-called scientists, politicians, Libs can connect dots from many previous millennia to a billion eons into the future regarding global warming/climate change.
But they cannot find motives for the most recent mass shootings, nor see how Islamist terrorism is linked to incidents, nor see any problems with Hillary deleting thousands of emails.
Hopefully, we’ll (S Texas) anything remotely close to where you’re at.
Eegad, I hadn’t even considered the age difference. What a thought.
These reprobates aren’t “scientists”. If anything, they are anti-scientists who have been and continue to be paid off with grant money. Degenerates.
LOL Well, that’s just it. All anybody can do, ever, is acquire heavier coats/ skins & insulate as best we can. The weather is gonna do what the weather’s gonna do.
Unless you’re a lefty. Then, you’re a god. The oceans will recede, the blah blah blah aw gee- don’t get me started.

Actually, this is not new — the theory that ice ages are triggered by a warming of the Arctic shutting down thermohaline currents in the Atlantic predates the politicized attempt to blame human fossil fuel use for “global warming”. I’d heard of it decades ago.
These Global Warming folks saw what the Margarine and Vegetable Oil folks pulled off and think they can do the same.
Algore has never had an original thought, some folks took a scam that worked in the past and just ran it by Algore with a twist and it has grown into this BS
We’re already around 12,000 years into a warm period, when most interglacial warm periods are 10-15,000 years.
So we’re due to go cold again.
He bit me good, too!
Knuckles were sore for awhile.
But wait a moment. If it's now Global COOLING, do we take those lists and do the exact opposite? What do we do to fight man-caused Global COOLING?
Inquiring minds want to know.
.... But of course they are doing this by stating that Global Warming will cool the earth down. I do have a question however .... if this is the case ..... What the heck would the evidence of Global Cooling be?
It hit 50 a couple weeks later. Lotsa complaints. Don’t do any good to bitch about’em though ;)
Did they figure this out before or after they estimated the number of trees on the planet? And is this considering the easily missed land mass of Russia in Asia which, according to Paul Klugman, was a minor oversight in previous models?
