Forget Global Warming... A Terrible Ice Age Awaits Us!

The most recent ice age ended a few thousand years ago, and today the world is, according to geological definitions, in a "warm phase of an interglacial period." Some experts even suggest that we might be heading towards another ice age. The relative positions of the Earth and the Sun are similar to those of 116,000 years ago, when the interglacial period that preceded the last ice advance was ending. It's not out of the question that history could repeat itself, and within 5,000 years, glaciers might once again cover vast continental areas.

Other scientists are even more pessimistic, hypothesizing that an ice age could start within the next 2-3 centuries as a consequence of global warming and climate change. The rise in atmospheric temperatures could lead to such massive precipitation at mid-to-high latitudes that it could "dilute" the Gulf Stream (which originates in the tropics, travels towards the Pole, sinks in the North Atlantic, and returns to the tropics by flowing along the ocean floor in a 2,500-year cycle), reducing its salinity.

The whole universe is a volatile place, everyday is a blessing

[davmac]

some people believing that electric cars are going to stop climate change are unable to charge their cars because the charging stations are frozen. LOL

I've held in my hand a fossil from Antarctica. It has a leaf on one side & a fern frond on the
About 18 million years old.
I don't mind saying I felt oddly emotional.
We're all here for a good time, not a long time.
I hope the 'good time' starts sometime soon despite the lunacy & panic porn from the so called experts.
Very good video, thanks.

2 things:
1. The warming effect of carbon dioxide varies with it's concentration in the atmosphere but the relationship is not linear, it is exponential. So each increase in carbon dioxide concentration results in less warming than the one before until saturation is attained and further increases make no practical difference.
2 The sun is not just a big lightbulb in the sky. It's output varies in cycles of approximately 11 years. Strictly speaking 11 years is a half cycle as after 11 years the Sun's magnetic poles reverse and technically speaking a solar cycle is approximately 22 years. Most cycles are strong but currently we are heading into grand solar minimum, similar to the Maunder minimum, so in a year or two we might even be able to have frost fairs on the Thames here in the UK. It won't be an ice age as the underlying trend is still to warming and once this cold period is over we should have warming again. However it will reveal that no matter how many more coal-fired power stations are built in places like China (please do your own research, there's info on the web) it's not humans that control the climate.

1960s: Oil gone in 10 years.
1970s: Ice Age in 10 years.
1980s: Acid Rain destroys all crops in 10 years.
1990s: Ozone Layer destroyed in 10 years.
2000s: Ice Caps will melt in 10 years
NONE HAPPENED: but all resulted in MORE TAXES!
2023: New Ice Age vs. Global Boiling🤡

[philippecardin]

6:57, False. CO2 like any other gases have absolutly no greenhouse effect, because gases do not hold or transfert heat, therefore the effect is insignificant on global climate.
Higher global CO2 always comes after a warmer period, not before.

[jonbulau]

We're still in a ice age, the ice has not left the poles

[psycotria]

Very good, except it is the Ice Age we are still in is punctuated by short interglacial warm periods. The current period peaked with the Holocene Climate Optimum (for humans) ~8500 years ago, with temperatures trending colder since. The four latest warm periods' temperatures over time have followed very similar trajectories. By that measure, Earth's temp has peaked, and is trending back to the normal, long glacial periods typical of the last 800, 000 years, with ~5000 years to go. Not mentioned in your video is the absolute solar output of the Sun and the effects of catastrophic extraterrestrial impacts. Look for by name, Younger Dryas Extinction.

To sum it up, the Earth goes through normal glacial periods of 80 to 130 thousand years, interrupted by interglacial periods of 8 to 33 thousand years. CO2 effect is currently saturated, with less and less effect with further increases. Paying wealthy overlords will not stop Nature's cycles.

Well said. People don’t understand the incredible amount of variables involved.

[klind]

We are in the extreme age....
Extremely cold
Extremely hot
Extremely wet
Extremely dry
Extremely disappointed Extremely triggered.
Extremely
Either way extremely screwed 😕😞😕😞😕😞

The EARTH WILL REGULATE ITSELF...WITH OR WITHOUT US. ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL

[KF-bjce]

Great summary on lots of factors about climate variations. Thanks

[insight]

“Precipitation could dilute the Gulf Stream” But doesn’t all that rain come from the ocean in the first place?

[Whuffagowie]

Milankovitch Cycles factor in. 25, 000 year-old Oak trees are being milled after being found in wet gravel dozens of feet down in the ground.

[jackreisewitz]

Why is it, that articles like this one ALWAYS mix - and mix up - the use of "X number of years ago, and X number of years bce" ??
They reference a source that states something happened 8, 000 years bce, and state it as 8, 000 years ago. Or vica- versa. It happened 10, 000 years ago, and they insert bca.
Each time that happens, it introduces a 2, 000 year inaccuracy in the narrative.
Very confusing. Totally messes up the chronology of events. Please check your dates.

[anthavoc_]

Oh man as an australian i would kill to see some snow for the first time.

[ericmartin]

the first sentence of this video is factually incorrect. the Earth is in an inter-glacial period during a current Ace Age. why in the world cant these people get their facts straight?

Coolest winter in Hawaii in many years so far.
