Could Global Warming Bring About Another New Ice Age
Sure, there are some closed-minded fools and political charlatans who evangelise about the “Global Warming Hoax.”
Facts just don’t get in the way. They never have for these kind of people.
In another century, Galileo, the father of modern science, was tried and convicted by the Catholic Inquisition for his appalling blasphemy that the earth wasn’t at the center of the universe.
But, it was the leadership of the Catholic Church that was delusional, not the scientist.
Today, it’s small-minded ideologues who claim, falsely, that there’s a global warming controversy when, indeed, there isn’t any such thing.
However, instead of trying to try to reason with with the close-minded ideologues, I wonder: “Will global warming bring on another Ice Age?”
Of course, it sounds completely nonsensical to wonder if global warming can bring on an ice age till you consider two things: the subcontinent above Europe known as Greenland and the Gulf Stream.
It is the Atlantic Gulf Stream that gives states from Britain to Scandinavia similar temperatures and climate to the continental U.S, instead of northern Siberia and Alaska which are at the same latitude.
Ocean currents carry warm tropical sea water from the Tropics up to the North Atlantic to a bit south of Greenland. As the warmer water evaporates in the frigid conditions, its salt remains behind and the ensuing heavier water settles to the bottom forming an undersea river forty times larger than all of the other freshwater rivers and streams of the Earth put together .
At Greenland, this gigantic, highly saline river in the Atlantic Ocean , which can even be seen by astronauts, reverses course and flows south. As it does so , it pushes warmer, lighter water to the surface, bringing about the moderate temperatures off Europe’s coast.
Which brings me back to Greenland.
Today, its ice sheets, nearly two miles deep, are melting so quickly that some coastal areas of this subcontinent have been rising an inch a year over the past two decades as the immense weight of the ice is lost. As its ice sheets melt, the run off goes into the North Atlantic, increasingly diluting the ocean’s salinity and, at some unknown but critical threshold, the Great Conveyor Belt, the Gulf Stream, will shut down, resulting in a catastrophic (think two or three years) climate shift to another Ice Age which could last, at a minimum, 700 years—but perhaps many thousands of years.
The Ice Age will put the eastern half of the United States and maritime Canada and all of Europe and Siberia into year-round winter, making those regions uninhabitable. Two billion people and our civilization will possibly perish.
Perhaps, though, it’s best not to dwell on things we don’t really wish to think about.
Better to simply do nothing and repeat, over and over , that global warming is a hoax.
Just like the Church’s decision to deny that the earth was not the centre of the universe, just a lie by the blasphemer Galileo.
Just another hoax.
Too bad the world has to be put at such risk solely to mollify fools and charlatans.
It could be the most significant event in mankind’s history regardless of if there’s a faux global warming controversy. It’s the Big Lie they commit and have the gall to call the”global warming hoax“.

Stop Global Warming With Solar Energy
With an issue as huge as global warming, it can feel as if we are helpless as individuals to do anything about it. However, as individuals are all there are, it is actually actions by many individuals that make big changes. By getting solar panels for your home, you'll be part of the group using solar power to fight global warming.

Making Use Of Renewable Energy
A variety of modern concerns, including the potential for future oil shortages and the current global warming issues, have been steering people slowly towards renewable energy. But many potential sources remain untapped, because there is a lack of money or desire to do so. Improving accessibility to alternatives sources of energy is everyone's responsibility, so that everyone can be more environmentally friendly.
