Scientists using computer simulations to study Antarctic sea ice have released new findings indicating that the earth could be heading for another Ice Age. As The Daily Mail reports:
Scientists studying Antarctica sea ice warn a rise in accumulation could spark the next ice age.
Computer simulations show that an explosion in ice circling the frozen desert would act as a lid on the ocean and block it from exchanging carbon dioxide with the atmosphere.
This is capable of causing a reverse greenhouse effect, which would ultimately cool the earth and send our planet into an ice age for the first time in over two million years.
The last major ice age is believed to have ended about 2.5 million years ago during the Pleistocene era.
Another ice age would be completely devastating for many human communities on the planets and lead to untold misery and disruption.
Scientist’s make their predictions on who pays them the most. How long have they predicated earthquakes in California, volcanoes in Yosemite, ice age due to aircraft contrails…. They don’t know bull.
Every human being should be doing SOMETHING to protect our environment, it’s our duty
Get a life.
this weather crap is all cyclical and nothing we do here will make a difference.
The wild fires put more CO2 than all the coal burning plants over the past 10 years.
Quit drinking the cool aid and start living.
Want to do some good? Go to China, Japan, India, and those countries to have them stop dumping plastic trash in the ocean.
You know I’ve gone and upgraded my air conditioning because you’ve been telling me the world is heading into a period of global warming, now, you’re telling me I better upgrade my heating system because we’re heading into an ice age. Greta Thunberg, which is it? You’re starting to cost me serious coin. I’m beginning to think you’re under contract to a Heating/Plumbing/HVAC contractor.
If you are being told what to do by a down’s child, you deserve what you get
John, you can’t have missed the sarcasm in the comment, or are you so overly engaged that like the loon left liberals you’ve lost all sense of humor?
Just last week I read about the catastrophic loss of ice in Iceland. Now ice is growing geometrically in Antarctica? My God, Mother Nature isn verruckt!
Here we go again — now it’s BACK to global cooling. Seems to me I’ve heard this song before. I will personally be LONG gone before this one arrives. However, the human race is still around (after several dry runs) and I expect they will survive this time UNLESS some stupid ass lights an A-bomb fuse.
Whoever wrote this blurb completely missed the point of the Daily Mail article. Since my suspicion is that these “news” items are manufactured in some Eastern European country, it may not be surprising. If you check out that article it says: “An ice age looks unlikely any time soon, as sea ice is at an all-time low and data shows it could keep declining.”
The Pleistocene Ice age began approximately 1.8 million years ago, and had four greenhouse/ice house cycles, each lasting approximately 450,000 each. The last ice house cycle of the Pleistocene ended approximately 18,000 years ago with the continental ice sheet beginning to melt back. Therefore, we are currently in the early portion of a greenhouse cycle. I wish more people would take the effort to learn a little about the geology of earth prior to spreading fake data, which uneducated people consider gospel. Petroleum geologists who have studied and work with sequence stratigraphy know greenhouse/ice house cycles have occurred hundreds of times resulting in eustatic sea level rising during ice house cycles and dropping during greenhouse cycles. These cycles last thousands of years each, so humans have little, to nothing, to worry about.
Wealthy elitists from hollywood and multi millionaires have all banded together with wealthy liberal politicians to demand and tell us that we must reduce our carbon foot print and we must fork out huge amounts of our paychecks to give to the people who dont live a wealthy lifestyle but have you seen any of these wealthy liberals give away half their millions to poor families? Have you seen any of these people stop flying around in private jets that burn more fuel in an hour then you burn in a whole year? This should prove to you it is all a scam. If they were truely concerned about income inequality and carbon foot prints they would have done something more then tell us the working class we have to sacrifice what little bit of comfort and luxury that working class people can actually afford. It is time the wealthy elites sacrifice first and lead by example or shut the hell up.
All this proves is that scientists are at the same stage with weather/climate concerns that the medical field was during the dark ages. Scientists are just guessing. Climate change is a hoax put on by wealthy elitist liberals who are scared to death that us peasants will use up all the sosil fuels and natural resources. The wealthy liberal elitists want to ensure that they can live their wastefull lifestyles for centuries to come and the only way to do that is to drive the cost of everything they love sky high so working class people cant afford to pay for it. Left up to the wealthy liberal elites the working class will be living in a society that could come out of a chapter of the hunger games.
Whatever happened to Global Warming, as concerns about another Ice Age and that would appear mutually exclusive.

Global warming was changed to “Climate Change” So that they could mold it to any narrative that they are going to push. Too cold, CLIMATE CHANGE! Too hot, CLIMATE CHANGE! Rainy, CLIMATE CHANGE! You get the picture! Perfect example is the California fire disasters. Terrible and brought on by neglect and mismanagement of private and public resources. But the clown in the Governor’s chair is railing against climate issues that we are ignoring! The US does more than any other country to ensure reduced carbon and cleaner air water and land. Cry to China or India, the countries that were exempted from the climate regulations.
In Genesis chapter 9, God promised he would never again destroy the earth by water. Solid, liquid, gaseous. Not gonna happen.
You should take time to read the book of Revelation. Destruction will be to a level never seen before.

What!!! The only thing this proves is the period of ice age scares is 50 years or so. In the 195-‘s it was “The ice is coming, the ice is coming. Then it was “disaster, global warming, global warming.” Now it is back to “The ice is coming, the ice is coming.” Just proves that many of the scientists are filled with hubris. They have been confusing computer models with what happens in the real world.
Al Gore in the 1970s. He made a financial killing serving up solutions to a scare he created. Sound familiar?
We have gone through mini cold spells throughout history. The so-called “Year Without a Summer”—1816—belongs to a three-year period of severe climate deterioration of global scope caused by the eruption of Mt. Tambora in Indonesia in April, 1815. The article says “major” ice age. The last ice age ended about 14,000 years ago. It wasn’t a major ice age. Not long ago people actually froze to death in Rio de Janeiro. At some point in human history, it is estimated that the entire population of the planet fell to a bottleneck of around 2,000. The planet has even become one big ball of ice according to science.
It has long been my opinion that there are more people on the planet than the planet has resources to support. While tragic, such a loss by an ice age would reduce the demand on resources, and it would force an evolutionary leap with the gene pool filled by the survival of the fittest.
Unless someone takes his place, everything will be back in balance once Al Gore leaves this life.
If the Gulf Stream slows due to melting ice at Greenland, Europe could be in for at least a mini ice age.
I guess we better start burning MORE oil and gas! I hate the cold a lot more than the heat! Just wish the damned scientists would make up their minds!
The scientists do not have enough data to make an accurate prediction. They are full of that soft brown stuff.
GLOBAL WARMING IS HAPPENING NOW AND IS CONTINUING TO MELT MORE OF THE GLACIERS. OCEANS ARE RISING AND THE EARTH SEAMS TO BE WARMING RATHER THAN COOLING.
Pure and 100% true BS only a complete unthinking fool believes this crap

During the last major ice age the southern polar ice cap was only a THIRD as large as it is today, and has been for the last 600,000 years
This is perfect timing. Since we are having a global warming crisis this new Ice-age should balance things out.
