Watching an episode of Reba usually does it for me.

Sounds like an odd cure but, whatever.

What's a Reba and how often does it have these episodes?

"I look forward to skiing to Catalina Island for some polar bear hunting!"

Why not... Arlington Springs Woman did during the last Ice Age.

It is thought to be caused in part by the Earth getting less of the sun's warming radiation — because of the pull of other planets in our solar system.

Not by anyone with the slightest bit of scientific knowledge or more than a room temperature intelligence.

Wow! Look at all that extra farmland!

Invade Mexico to escape from the tyrannical cold… obviously.

Perhaps you and I could live in one of those cardboard hovels that some or our newest illegal immigrants left behind. But why are they coming north to the US anyway? Haven't they seen this terrifying GIF?

Mankind could conceivably control the climate, but it would take far more technology than we currently possess. I also agree with the author’s comment that mankind is “warming” the climate. That’s not the issue. The issue is whether or not man’s activities have a significant effect on climate relative to other factors like the sun. Like you wrote, we could burn a lot more coal to try and avoid another ice age, but I don’t think it would make a significant difference. That’s not to say there aren’t other techniques that could be used to mitigate the impact of an ice age.

Click here to see a world map with the oceans lowered by about 320 feet.

That makes the continents look fat. Global-wide continental diet. It's the only thing that can save us.

Anyone can make a terrifying fantasy GIF. The image below is historically what actually happened in the last ice age.

All I see in your post is the dreaded red X, in a box.

“What do you suggest we do?”

Lower gas prices to a buck a gallon.

Dude, not even Michael Sam would "it" Reba....

We don’t have TV, but my wife bought the entire series cheap a few years ago (six seasons). She uses it as background noise. Like it or not I’ve picked up on its humor.

And yes, thanks to my previous post, I have to go back to man class.

What movie is that from? Mad Max?

[Red Badger]

All the Blue states are covered in ice, so there is an up side........................

[Tijeras_Slim]

Yep, the Toecutter.

[Cboldt]

When in doubt, run in circles, scream and shout.

[Little Bill]

I am looking at Gulf Port the BBQ is real good.

“And we are unnaturally making the Earth even warmer...”

stopped reading right there.

It was fine when I posted it. It seems the FR web software "edited" the dimensions to drop it to 0px X 0px. I've reposted with explicit height/width for the img tag.
